Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate the
user's heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum
†
heart rate.
Within each suggested range, these additional guidelines can be used:
Lower Half of Range Upper Half of Range
higher age lower age
lower weight higher weight*
shorter taller
* in cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range
The computer will not accept:
heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beat s per minute
