Test Protocol
• In the “Fitness test” program of the EC-C400 Ergometer, the
workload (pedal resistance: torque) for the subsequent stage is de-
termined depending on your pulse rate at the previous stage. The
workload (pedal resistance: torque) will be increased along one of
the routes illustrated below, depending on your pulse rate ™during
the program.
• The pulse rates specified below represent the protocol for a person
of 20 years. For the people over 20, the borderline of pulse rate will
be adjusted by the age adjustment coefficient (K), which is obtained
by the following formula:
204 - 0.69 x Age
204 - 0.69 x 20
• For people over 60 years, the coefficient (K) is calculated as 60.

Reference: The load change for males over 50 years of age is the
same as for females.
When the age is less than 20, the load changes as if the
age were 20.
