The computer will not accept:
l heart rates less than 90 or greater than 199 beats per minute;
l body weights less than 74 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 399 pounds (189 kg);
l ages below 10 or over 99 years;
l data input that exceeds human potential.
If you make an error when entering any Fit Test data, you can correct it
by pressing CLEAR-PAUSE, inputting the correct information, and pressing
ENTER.
It is important for you to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time.
Your heart rate is dependent on many factors, including:
l amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended);
l time of day;
l time you last ate (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended);
l time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked
a cigarette (at least four hours is recommended);
l time since you last exercised (at least six hours is recommended).
For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three
consecutive days and average the three scores.
NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, you must be working within your training
heart rate zone, which is 60%-85% of your theoretical maximum heart rate.
