The UKK 2 km walk test
The UKK 2km walk test (UKK are the initials for Urho Kaleka Kekkonen, founder of the UKK Institute in
Tampere/Finland) makes it possible under certain assumptions to determine the approximately max. cardio
respiratory efficiency (VO
2
max) and therefore the physical condition of the subject. On the basis of this result a
fitness-index is calculated with the help of a complex formula taking age, height, weight, test duration and average
heart-rate into consideration, which tells us whether the physical condition of the subject is above or below
average. The value of 100 as the average serves as the base. If somebody's index-value is 90 then his physical
condition is slightly below average. An index-value of 110 on the other hand would be above average.
The test explains itself by its name. In order to perform the test after having done some warming up and some
stretching walk for 2 km as fast as possible (do not run). It is important to keep the walking speed as high as is
needed for the subject to achieve 80% of their max. heart rate ( 220 – age). The test duration and heart rate are
measured immediately after finishing the 2 km distance. At h/p/cosmos devices the heart rate is measured every
500m due to higher accuracy. For calculating the index value the average value of the 4 measured values is used.
As soon as the 2 km distance has been absolved the speed gets reduced to half the speed at the end of the test
(2000 m). The running machine operates as described under point "Manual-Mode" (the UP/DOWN-keys are in
operation again) with one exception: The display INDEX instead of indicating the wattage and energy
consumption, indicates the test result (calculation following). The LED INDEX is flashing (top right hand side).
