The Life Fitness Summit Trainer Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile product. The
Fit Test workout measures cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance
every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the Lifepulse hand sensors 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 the chosen resistance level. Immediately afterward, the console will take the user's heart
rate reading, calculate a fitness score, and display the score in the MESSAGE CENTER.

The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart sup-
plies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles, and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from
the blood. Physicians and exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic
capacity.

To set up the Fit Test:

O

Begin pedaling.

O

Press the FIT TEST button.

O

The message center will prompt for a user weight (ENTER WEIGHT). Use the NUMERIC
KEYS or UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to input your weight. Press ENTER to accept the weight.

O

The message center will next prompt for a user age (ENTER AGE). Use the NUMERIC KEYS
or UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to input your age. Press ENTER to accept the age.

O

The message center will next prompt for a user gender (SELECT GENDER). Using the
UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS, select a gender. Press ENTER to accept the gender selection.

O

The message center will next prompt for a workout level (ENTER LEVEL). Consult the follow-
ing recommended fit test level chart for an appropriate effort level based on your age, gender
and activity level. Use the NUMERIC KEYS or UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to enter the corre-
sponding level.

O

As the test continues, a message will prompt the user to maintain a pedaling rate between 2.5-3.5
mph. The user must maintain this rate throughout the 5-minute test duration. After 16 seconds, if
2.5-3.5 mph speed is not maintained, the fit test will automatically terminate.

After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.
