MILITARY FITNESS TEST
The Lifecycle
®
Exercise Bike features an Air Force Physical Readiness Tests (PRT). This test is similar to the fit test work-
out, except that it does not have a preset time goal.
To begin an Air Force PRT:
l
Press the WORKOUTS PLUS button repeatedly until the AIR FORCE PRT appears in the message center and
press ENTER to select the AIR FORCE PRT option.
l
The message center will prompt for a user weight (ENTER WEIGHT). Enter a weight between 75 - 400 pounds
using the ARROW keys. Press ENTER to accept the weight.
l
The message center will prompt for a user height (ENTER HEIGHT). Enter a height between 36 - 90 inches using
the ARROW keys. Press ENTER to accept the height.
l
The message center will next prompt for a user age (ENTER AGE). Enter an age between 17 - 70 years using the
ARROW keys. Press ENTER to accept the age.
l
The message center will next prompt for a user gender (SELECT GENDER). Using the ARROW keys, select a gen-
der. Press ENTER to accept the gender selection.
l
The message center will next prompt for a user Fitness Level ("Do you perform Aerobic Activity at least 3 times per
week"). Using the ARROW keys, select 'YES' or 'NO'. Press ENTER to accept the selection.
The Air Force PRT begins after the user selects their Fitness Level and presses ENTER. During the PRT the user must
maintain 50-80 RPM. If the user pedals outside this range, a warning message is displayed. If the user continues to pedal
outside this range for more than 10 seconds, the test is terminated. If the user's heart rate exceeds 85% of their theoreti-
cal maximum heart rate, the test is also terminated. The Air Force PRT requires a user's heart rate throughout the test.
Heart rate is recorded every minute, and if it is not detected, the test will terminate. The PRT starts with a 2 minute warm-
up. After this warm-up, an initial wattage setting is determined from the user's input data. The PRT then monitors a user's
heart rate and determines if more resistance is needed. After 6 minutes at a constant wattage, the exercise bike will try to
calculate a score.
