Aerobic Points
One of the main reasons people stop exercising is because they don’t see the physical changes they expected. Results, however, can only
be realized when you are training properly. For this reason, the Aerobic Point System has been incorporated into the design of PaceMaster
treadmills since 1968.
The Aerobic Point System was developed by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the Father of Aerobics and renowned founder of The Cooper Aerobics
Center in Dallas, TX, to measure the aerobic benefit of the workout. Dr. Cooper’s formula compares the energy costs of aerobic activity
from the mathematical relationships between the oxygen expenditures assigned to each exercise at a given intensity and duration. This
formula is built into the ProClub LT computer to automatically calculate the number of AEROBIC POINTS you earn for each workout
Dr. Cooper states in his book, The Aerobics Program For Total Well Being; “The main idea of this system is that, in order to stay in good
shape and move toward a goal of total well-being, a person must earn a certain number of points each week by doing a certain amount of
aerobic exercise.” His research has determined that a man should work up to a minimum of 32 points per week and a woman should work
up to a minimum of 27 points per week. The number of weekly points you earn correlates with your level of fitness. The fitness categories
are:
Average Points Per Week
Classification Men Women
Very Poor Less than 10 Less than 8
Poor 10-20 8-15
Fair 21-31 16-26
Good 32-50 27-40
Excellent 51-74 41-64
Superior 75+ 65+
If you have not been on a regular exercise program, it is highly recommended that you gradually work up to your desired fitness category
and then develop a maintenance program.
