PROGRAM INFORMATION (cont.)
WEIGHT LOSS
– promotes weight loss by increasing and decreasing the speed and incline, while keeping you in
your fat burning zone. Speed and incline changes, segments repeated every 30 seconds.
FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
– a workout based on the Gerkin protocol. This test has various stages increasing
treadmill speed and incline until your maximum heart rate is reached. Your score is based on gender, age and time
needed to complete the test.
WARM UP – 3 minutes long at 1.6 – 4.8 km/h or 1.0 – 3.0 mph and 0% incline
STAGE 1 – 1 minute long at 7.2 km/h or 4.5 mph and 0% incline
STAGE 2 – 1 minute long at 7.2 km/h or 4.5 mph and 2% incline
STAGE 3 – 1 minute long at 8.0 km/h or 5.0 mph and 2% incline
STAGES 4 to 15 – after every odd minute the incline will increase by 2%. After every even minute the speed
will increase by 0.5 mph (0.8km/h). Once the users heart rate exceeds the target heart rate (85% of
maximum as determined by the equation [220-age] x [0.85] = target heart rate, the evaluation ends and the
final evaluation stage is recorded.
COOL DOWN – the test is completed when the users heart rate exceeds the target or the user completes all
15 stages, whichever occurs first. The treadmill will then enter cool down for 3 minutes.
Note: changing the speed or incline during the test will end the test and enter cool down. Press stop to end the
test at any time and see results.
