Physical Fitness Level (PFL)
• There are five physical fitness levels: 1 ~ 5. These levels are relative
evaluations that compare your maximum oxygen uptake (MOU),
estimated by the Fitness test program, with the values of other
people of the same age and sex (Physical Fitness Level Test Table).

Maximum Oxygen Uptake (MOU)
• MOU is widely used as an index for total physical endurance. MOU
indicates the amount of oxygen one can intake at the limit of their
physical work capacity. In the EC-C400 Ergometer, MOU is calcu-
lated based on the maximum physical work capacity (PWC max.)
explained below, assuming that
1 litre of oxygen corresponds to 5.0 Kcal, and
the human body efficiency rate for a bicycle exercise is 23%
Maximum Physical Work Capacity (PWC max.)
• In the EC-C400 Ergometer “Fitness test” program the weight of the
pedals are changed at 3 levels, and the pulse rate at the end point of
each level is measured. Based on the result, the relationship between
the work rate (wattage) and the pulse rate is analyzed by linear re-
gression. Extend the regression line until reaching the maximum
heart rate (=204 - 0.69 x age) which is estimated by age. The work
rate (wattage) of this point becomes the maximum physical work
capacity.
• PWC max. safely estimates how much exercise is possible at the limit
of physical work capacity, that is, at maximum heart rate without
performing actual exercise.
