Naval academies to measure aerobic capacity.
• PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY BATTERY: 1.5 miles

cular endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Scores for these tests are based on finishing time, age, and gender.
To set up one of these tests, choose Fitness Test and then choose your selected workout. If the
selected test is either the NAVY or MARINES test, the Message Area displays a question as to
whether the test is taking place below a certain altitude. For the NAVY test, the altitude is 5,000 feet
above sea level; and for the MARINES test, the altitude is 4,500 feet above sea level. Using the
ARROW KEYS, select the correct answer from: “ABOVE 5,000 FEET”(NAVY) / “ABOVE 4,500
FEET”(MARINES) or “BELOW 5,000 FEET”(NAVY) / “BELOW 4,500 FEET”(MARINES)
Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, which may include Weight, Age, and Gender. Press
ENTER after each entry. Then, begin the workout. To ensure an accurate test score, do not change
these entries once the workout begins.
For all FITNESS TESTS except GERKIN, after the distance goal is reached, the workout program goes
into a cooldown. The duration of this phase depends on the amount of time taken to complete the test.
For less than five minutes, the cooldown is one minute. For five to 15 minutes, the cooldown is three
minutes. For longer times, the cooldown is five minutes. The user can abort the cooldown by pressing
the STOP key. After the cooldown is aborted or completed, the Message Area displays the finishing time
and a point score for the PEB, Army, Air Force, and Marines tests; or a qualitative score, such as
EXCELLENT, for the Navy test.
For the Gerkin test, the time at which the heart rate reached the target heart rate and is maintained for
15 seconds, and a converted VO2 MAX value will be shown in the MESSAGE AREA during the workout
summary.
