Doing the Fitness Test
NOTE! Gamma 300 uses the following formulae for calculating the
maximum heart-rate level: women 226 - age, men 220 - age. If you know
your maximum heart-rate, enter it before you start the fi tness test: this
will enhance the accuracy of the results.
1. Press function key Coach.
2. Press operation key Test.
3. Gamma 300 displays text pages of information about the Fitness
Test to help you take it.

Walk as fast as you can, but don’t run! Gamma 300 measures
your fi tness level based on your heart-rate. Tunturi recommends
you continue walking slowly for a few minutes after the test, so
that your heart-rate returns smoothly to normal.

this Results key and Gamma 300 gives the following
information with regard to your fi tness:
:: the measured heart-rate level at the end of the test
:: the maximal oxygen intake capacity (VO2 max.) and the
corresponding aerobic fi tness index value
:: fi tness evaluation on scale 1-5 (5 = best)
