Fitness Test Scores

When you finish the Fitness Test, the program stops the
running belt and returns the incline to a 0% grade. No
automatic cool-down period is provided after the test. A
fitness score and a fitness level appear on the display as part
of the workout summary and relate to the tables shown
below.

Note: A fitness score appears only if you complete at least
three stages of the test.

This test provides a means of comparing your fitness level
with the official fitness test of the 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.
