ABOUT THE FITNESS INDEX
Your VIBRA-TRAINER PRO will generate a fitness index based on your
aerobic fitness, or your capacity to engage in any form of aerobic exercise.
This index is dependent and limited by the body
’
s ability to deliver oxygen to
the working muscles in training. It is often measured by maximum oxygen
uptake (VO2 Max), which is defined as the highest amount of oxygen that
can be utilized when exercising at an increasingly demanding level. The
lungs, heart, blood, circulatory system, and working muscles are all factors
in determined VO2 Max. The unit of VO2 Max is ml/kg min.
Generally, the fitness range is from 13 to 53. The higher the index, the fitter
you are. For your reference, an average 37-year-old man has an index
between 39 and 48.

It is important to know your maximum heart rate (MHR), your training

any exercise program. These metrics help you achieve the maximum
health benefits from your workout.
