Knowing one’s func onal capacity can also tell you how diffi cult it may be to perform certain ac vi es. To illustrate, cycling at
3 mph generally requires about 3 to 8 METS whereas fast cycling at 10 mph requires roughly 7 METS. Armed with a personal
MAX METS score, the user can make judgments regarding their exercise regime. For example, if a person’s func onal capacity is
6 METS, one would be able to determine that riding a bicycle at 10 mph for an extended period of me would be quite diffi
-
cult (without actually riding the bicycle). For more informa on on the METS exer on scale and The ACSM (American College of
Sports Medicine) visit the website www.acsm.com. At the comple on of the Fitness Test, the user’s results will be returned. See
the chart above for a brief descrip on of the METS scores.
Unsuccessful Results
If the test was unsuccessful, the Lower Display will post “Unable to complete test.” The Fit Test may not be able to complete the
test for a variety of reasons:
• The STOP key was pressed The program was concluded before enough informa on could be gathered. No test results
are posted.
• Heart Rate Too High If the user’s heart rate reached 85% of Max for more than thirty (30) seconds, the program
will end. Depending upon the previous progress made in the test, the METS score may, or
may not be provided
• No RPM / RPM Too Low If the console does not detect an adequate RPM, the console will enter Pause mode. If the
program is paused and resumed several mes, it is possible that no fi tness score will be
returned.
• No Pulse Signal If a pulse signal is not detected by the console for a period of thirty (30) seconds, the pro
gram will end and the test will be unsuccessful. When and unsuccessful Fit Test result is
returned, the program will end and return to the Idle mode.
