4.4 HEART RATE CONTROL WORKOUT OPERATION
4.5 GERKIN TEST WORKOUT OPERATION
Your Matrix T1x-03 Treadmill offers a heart rate control workout
mode. The heart rate control workout mode allows the user to
program their desired heart rate zone and maximum allowable
incline and the treadmill will automatically adjust the incline based
upon the user's heart rate. The heart rate zone is calculated using
thefollowingequation:(220-Age)*%=targetheartratezone.The
user must wear a telemetric heart rate monitor or continually hold
onto the contact heart rate grips for his workout.
1) Choose the Target Heart Rate workout by selecting the HEART
RATE workout button and press ENTER.
2) Enter the user's age using the INCLINE or SPEED KEYS and
press ENTER.
3) Enter the desired percent of maximum heart rate using the
INCLINE or SPEED KEYS and press ENTER.
4) Enter the user's weight (the user's weight is used to calculate
the caloric expenditure value, providing an accurate weight helps to
ensure an accurate caloric expenditure rating for each user) using
the INCLINE or SPEED KEYS and press ENTER.
5) Press GO to begin the workout. The display will read 3, 2, 1, and
then the workout will begin.
Your Matrix T1x-03 Treadmill offers a Gerkin Firefighter Protocol Fitness Test, The Gerkin Protocol was developed by Dr.. Richard Gerkin of the
Phoenix (Arizona) Fire Department. It is a sub-maximal graded treadmill evaluation used by many fire departments across the United States to
assess the physical condition of the firefighters. The test requires constant monitoring of the user's heart rate so the use of a telemetric chest
strap is highly encouraged. The workout operates as follows:
WARM UP
:Thewarmupis3minuteslongandrunsat3.0mph(4.8kph)and0%incline.
STAGE 1
: At the 3 minute mark, the treadmill will gradually increase speed to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The actual test begins at 4.5 mph (7.2 kph).
STAGE 2

STAGE 3
: After one minute, the treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph (8.0 kph).

evaluation remains at the stage where the target heart rate is exceeded, without any change to speed or incline. If the heart rate does not return
to or below the target heart rate, the evaluation ends and the final evaluation stage is recorded. If the heart rate returns to or below the target
heart rate, the program continues at the point where it would have been had the program not stabilized for 15 seconds.
TEST COMPLETION:
The test is completed when user's heart rate exceeds the target for more than 15 seconds or when the user completes
