FITNESS TEST
The treadmill features two different fitness tests. The
fast-paced 2 km walking test requires a lower level of
effort, while the 12-minute Cooper run test is better
suited to those who are fit. You can use PSC to adjust
the speed during the tests.
1. Select your user code (1-4) with the arrow keys. Press
ENTER to confirm your selection.
2. Press SELECT until the signal light shows next to the
text TEST. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.
3. Press SELECT to choose between the 2 km walking
test and the Cooper test. Press ENTER to confirm your
selection.
2 KM WALKING TEST
The walking test requires the use of a heart rate monitor.
The test measures your fitness level on the basis of your
heart rate level during the exercise and the time taken
to complete the 2 km distance. The test is preceded by
a 3-minute warm-up period. We also recommend you
continue walking slowly after the test, so that your heart
rate returns smoothly to normal. On the basis of your
performance, the meter will display an estimate of your
maximum oxygen uptake capacity.
BEGINNING THE WALKING TEST:
1.
The display prompts for user height: enter your
height with the arrow keys. Press ENTER to confirm
your setting.
2. The display prompts for the user’s sex: enter your
sex with the arrow keys. Press ENTER to confirm your
setting.
3. The display prompts for user weight: enter your
weight with the arrow keys. Press ENTER to confirm
your setting.
4. The display prompts for the user’s age: enter your
age with the arrow keys. Press ENTER to confirm your
setting.
5. The display reads WARM UP to indicate you can
begin the 3-minute warm-up period. Begin the warm-
up period by pressing START.
6. The running deck elevation is adjusted at 1 % to
simulate air resistance. Adjust speed using the speed
control keys or the PSC function. We recommend that
you warm up by walking at a slightly faster pace than
normally.
7. During the warm-up period, time will count down
from three minutes. When the time displays 0:00, the
meter gives an audio signal and the actual test will begin
(TEST STARTED!).
PERFORMING THE WALKING TEST:
1.
The goal is to walk the 2 km distance as quickly as
possible. Adjust the speed yourself by using the speed
control keys or the PSC function. Do not run during
the test!
2. If the heart rate measurement is not working
correctly, the display will show the alert CHECK
TRANSMITTER. You should then make sure that you
have properly followed the instructions on the use of the
heart rate belt.
3. Once the 2 km distance is covered, the meter
gives an audio signal. NOTE! The treadmill will stop
automatically. The display gives the test result as your
maximum oxygen uptake capacity. Compare your
results to the fitness level categories for different age
groups, shown in the table. Once you have completed
the test, we recommend you walk at a relatively slow
pace for 2-3 minutes to allow your hear rate to decrease
gradually.
COOPER TEST
The Cooper test is used to calculate your fitness level
on the basis of the distance you run in a period of 12
minutes: the longer the distance you cover, the better
your fitness level. The test is preceded by a 3-minute
warm-up period. We also recommend you continue
walking slowly after the test, so that your heart rate
returns smoothly to normal. On the basis of your
performance, the meter will display an estimate of your
maximum oxygen uptake capacity.
BEGINNING THE COOPER TEST:
1.
The display reads COOPER SELECTED. Press
START to confirm your selection.
2. The display reads WARM UP to indicate you can
begin the 3-minute warm-up period. Begin the warm-
up period by pressing START.
3. The running deck elevation is adjusted at 1 % to
simulate air resistance. Adjust speed using the speed
control keys or the PSC function. We recommend that
you warm up by walking at a slightly faster pace than
normally.
4. During the warm-up period, time will count down
from three minutes. When the time displays 0:00, the
meter gives an audio signal and the actual test will begin
(TEST STARTED!).
PERFORMING THE COOPER TEST:
1.
The goal is to run as long a distance as possible in a
period of 12 minutes. Adjust the speed yourself by using
the speed control keys or the PSC function. The display
shows the time elapsed and your estimated results
throughout the test.
2. Once the 12 minutes are up, the meter gives an audio
signal. NOTE! The treadmill will stop automatically. The
display gives the test result as your maximum oxygen
uptake capacity. Compare your results to the fitness level
categories for different age groups, shown in the table.
Once you have completed the test, we recommend you
walk at a relatively slow pace for 2-3 minutes to allow
your heart rate to decrease.
MAINTENANCE
The equipment is safe to use only when periodically
maintained and inspected for faults and wear. Do not
attempt any servicing or adjustment other than those
described in this manual. Any other servicing must
be performed by an authorized service representative.
Check the tightness of all fixing screws once a year.
Do not overtighten. Defective components must be
immediately replaced: the equipment must not be
operated with any defective components.
