Step By Step Training for the BodyAge
The following training steps are mandatory before testing any clients, students or patients.
The operator should have a thorough understanding of the function of the system before
exercise testing. Any new BodyAge operators should follow the procedures outlined below.
On-Screen Tutorial and Video Training
For on-screen training of the BodyAge system, simply open the BodyAge
Tutorials on the desktop of your computer. These separate tutorials walk you
through the main aspects of the program step-by-step. These will be very helpful
in understanding the system and how to administer a proper and safe exercise
test.
Practical Testing
Once you have completed the entire Tutorial and Video Training, you are ready
to begin practicing using the equipment:
1.
Write down the tests
your facility wants to provide for its members
or clients. Carefully consider which assessments to use and the order
they will be administered. When the member or client returns for a
re-test, it is important to use the same battery of assessments for
comparing the data. Also, the data gathered in Group Reporting and
Statistical Summary is more useful if the clients have been
administered the same tests.
2.
Test a minimum of three people
on the BodyAge using the same
protocols that will be used during an actual test. It is best to test
individuals that will also be using the BodyAge System, so that you
may share any new information and test administration tips.
Warranty and Technical Support Information
Your Technical Support and Warranty will be activated once
Polar/HealthFirst ships the BodyAge.
You will by contacted by a
Polar/HealthFirst customer service representative to answer any initial questions
you may have.
It is strongly
recommended
that each person using the BodyAge follow the
recommendations for staff operation guidelines
BEFORE testing any clients or
members.
