Fit-Test Program
The fitness test is based on the YMCA protocol and is a sub-maximal test that uses pre-determined,
fixed work levels that are based on your heart rate readings as the test progresses. The test will
take anywhere between 6 to 15 minutes to complete, depending on your level of fitness. The test
ends when your heart rate reaches 85% of maximum at any time during the test or your heart rate is
between 110 bpm and 85% at the end of two consecutive stages. At the end of the test a VO
2max
score will be given. VO
2max
stands for Volume of Oxygen uptake which is a measurement of how
much oxygen you need to perform a known amount of work.
The YMCA protocol uses two to four, 3 minute stages of continuous exercise (see charts below).
You will be asked to choose either, Male or Female at the beginning of the test. This choice
determines which test parameters will be used during the test as shown in the charts below. The
only caveats are that if you are a very de-conditioned Male you need to choose option Female. If
you are a very conditioned female you need to choose option Male.
