WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS
FIT TEST
This test measures cardiovascular fitness and proves an estimated sub-maximal VO2 result. It is based on power output according to
ACSM standards and was developed by the Cooper Institute (© www.cooperinstitute.org)
User RPMs must remain between 60-80 RPM during the test.
The test will end when the user can no longer maintain this speed. Use of a heart rate strap is optional but provides more data.
The test starts at a low intensity level and gradually increases in intensity (difficulty) every 2 minutes. As it increases, the user must
maintain 60-80RPM to advance to the next level. The test could take upwards of 30+ minutes for very fit individuals. Once the test
ends a recovery period (cool down) will begin, and the user’s results are calculated and displayed. Results are based on the number
of stages completed:
