Equipment Fitness Test Description
966i, 956i Gerkin Fitness Test This test provides a means of comparing your fitness level with the official fitness test of the International Association of
Firefighters (IAFF). It is written using the Gerkin Protocol, which is the basis for the official IAFF fitness test and part of their
Wellness and Fitness Initiative.
During the test, the treadmill gradually increases the incline and speed in specific stages. The keypads are disabled. The test
ends if no heart rate is detected for 15 seconds, you surpass your target heart rate (85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate),
or you complete the 13-minute time limit. Whatever stage you are at when the test ends determines your aerobic capacity and
establishes your VO2 max. Once you complete the test, a fitness score appears as part of the workout summary.
Use it to compare to IAFF standards.
