If your heart rate is below 65% of your theoretical maximum heart rate at the conclusion of
the Fit Test, retake the test at a higher level.
The Fit Test is an estimate of your VO2 max, which is a measurement of how well the heart
supplies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles and how efficiently those muscles
receive oxygen from the blood. This measurement is generally regarded by physicians and
exercise physiologists as the standard for aerobic capacity.
NOTE: If your weight varies from these values substantially, you may wish to
increase or decrease the indicated levels accordingly.
