The EFX provides a warm-up period before beginning the
5-minute fitness test. The warm-up period has a time limit
of 25 minutes. Instructions appear and direct you to pedal
at a constant stride rate of 70 strides per minute. The
pace is increased until your heart rate reaches 55% of the
maximum heart rate (220 minus your age) or the pace
reaches 160 strides per minute. In either case, the fitness
test commences at this point.
