FIT TEST
The treadmill Fit Test program is to test the cardiovascular fitness of different people
. The Fit Test
can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the
hand sensors (if equipped) when prompted or wear a heart rate chest strap, as the test score
calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five minutes at a 5%
incline. Immediately afterward, the console will take the user's heart rate reading, calculate a fitness
score, and display the score in the MESSAGE CENTER.
