OW TO USE A FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The FITN SS T ST programs measure your approxi-
mate VO2max, or aerobic capacity. VO2max is a
measure of your ability to take in and utilize oxygen to
generate energy for endurance activities such as run-
ning and cycling. In technical terms, VO2max is the
maximum volume of oxygen, in milliliters, that your
body can use in one minute, per kilogram of body
weight. A high VO2max indicates a high level of car-
diorespiratory fitness. Note: To learn more about VO2
max, refer to a reputable book or consult your physi-
cian.
For the most accurate results, use a FITN SS T ST
program when you are not feeling tired, when you
have not eaten for at least two hours, and when you
have not exercised for at least 24 hours.
The G RKIN FITN SS T ST is completed when your
heart rate stays greater than 85% of your age-pre-
dicted maximum heart rate for 15 seconds, or when
the program reaches 11 minutes. Note: The G RKIN
FITN SS T ST begins with a 3-minute warm-up.
The BB LING FITN SS T ST is completed in 9 min-
utes.
The FR MOTION FITN SS T ST is completed
when your heart rate reaches greater than 70% of your
age-predicted maximum heart rate, or when the pro-
gram reaches 30 minutes.
