Track Program

The Track Program can be accessed by pressing the
PERFORMANCE key. An oval track appears on the display. One
lap around the track represents 440 yards (400 meters). A blinking
LED moves counterclockwise and indicates your position on the
track. You control incline and speed.

Fitness Test

The Fitness Test, available by pressing the PERFORMANCE key,
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. Whatever
stage you are at when the test ends determines your aerobic
capacity and establishes your VO

2

max. Once you complete the

test, a fitness score appears as part of the workout summary. Use it
to compare to IAFF standards.

Note: The fitness facility has the option to remove the Fitness Test
from the PERFORMANCE key menu and replace it with the Track
Program. If you do not see the Fitness Test as part of the program
selections, ask the facility manager.
