The test-result is the index-value which is calculated as follows (according to sex):
Men
INDEX VALUE = 420 + A x 0.2 – (T x 0.19338 + HR x 0.56 + [W : (H
2
) x 2.6])
Women
INDEX VALUE = 304 + A x 0.4 – (T x 0.1417 + HR x 0.32 + [W : (H
2
) x 1.1])
Explanation
A (Age) = Age in years
HR (Heart Rate) = average heart rate during the test in bpm
T (Time) = needed for 2 km in seconds
W (Weight) = Weight in kg
H (Height) = Height in cm
Example: Age: 50 years / Weight: 105 kg / Height: 188 cm
Duration of test: 17:34 = 1054 seconds
Heart rate 500m = 158. 1000m = 156. 1500m = 160 and 2000m = 155
Average (158+156+160+155) : 4 = 157 bpm
Index value = 420+50x0.2–(1054x0.19338+157x0.56+(105:(1.88
2
)x2.6)) =
420+10-(203.8+87.9+29.7x2.6)=430–368.9 =

An index-value of less than 70 is a result quite below average (average=100). Conclusion: Our subject is in need
of some endurance training. Basically the test is suitable for all physically healthy persons between the age of 20
and 65. The results will be less accurate with people who are overweight. Athletes usually do not reach the
required heart rate when performing the test. The results will also be less accurate with elderly people.
Original the UKK walk test has not been designed for individual tests but for a larger amount of subjects. i.e.
testing of a crowd of people at the same time by sending them off in 1/2 minute intervals on the 2 km-distance
track. Therefore originally the UKK walk test has not been designed as a typical test for the running machine.
Advantages of performing the UKK walk test on the running machine:
N
Being able to measure the precise time and distance of the test (it is exactly 2 km)
N
Heart-Rate control during the test
N
Constant supervision of the subject by a doctor or trainer possible
N
Automatic display of the fitness-index and documentation with the help of either a printer or PC-connection
A serial printer or a PCL-printer with parallel/centronics plug und converter [cos10056] can be connected directly to
the h/p/cosmos running machine. Following data can be printed after the UKK walk test even without using any
PC: UKK fitness index, date, time, test duriation, distance, elevation, heart rate, age, sex, body-mass-index (BMI).
