FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The fitness test will assess your fitness level and give a score at the end of the test. This
score is not a Vo2 max number, but just a number to use as a reference. You can take
the test every month and the score should be higher as your level of fitness improves.
The test will take
anywhere from 6–15 minutes. The test will ask you to maintain a pedal
speed of 50 RPM and will automatically make adjustments to the work load depending
on your heart rate response to set work levels. The test ends when you reach your target
heart rate which is 85% of your maximum heart rate (Max HR = 220 – your age) or if
your HR exceeds 110 BPM for 2 consecutive stages.

During the test
The console must be receiving a steady heart rate for the test to begin. You may use the hand pulse sensors or wear
a heart rate chest strap transmitter.
You must maintain a steady 50 RPM pedal speed. If your pedal speed drops below 48 RPM or goes above 52 RPM
the console will emit a steady beeping sound until you are within this range.
You may scroll through the various data readings in the message window by pressing the Display button under the
message window.
1. The message window will always display your pedal speed on the right side to help you maintain 50RPM.
2. The data shown during the test is:
a. Work in KGM is actually an abbreviated form of kg-m/min. which is a work measurement of
kilogram-force meter/minute
b. Work in Watts (1 watt is equal to 6.11829727787 kg-m/min.)
c. HR is your actual heart rate; TGT is the target heart rate to reach to end the test.
d. Time is the total elapsed time of the test.
