FITNESS TESTS
NOTE: The FITNESS TEST and FIREFIGHTER FITNESS TEST programs are available on the S-TRc and S-TRx treadmills only.
To operate the Fitness Test program:
The F
ITNESS TEST is a modified version of the Balke and Ware protocol for maximal VO2 treadmill testing. The original Balke-
Ware protocol is a 20-minute test with a maximum elevation of 20%. Since most users prefer an 8-12 minute test and the STAR
TRAC S SERIES TREADMILLS have a maximum elevation of 15%, the test has been modified to last 12 minutes with a
maximum incline of 12%. This protocol is appropriate for all users, but is mostly used for older, deconditioned or patient groups.
During the F
ITNESS TEST, treadmill speed remains at a constant 3.4 mph. Treadmill incline is set at 0% during the first minute,
increases to 2% during the second minute, and increases by 1%-per-minute for the remainder of the test. Your heart rate results
are compared with charted data for your corresponding age and gender. Test results include your calculated VO2 max. VO2 max
is a physiological measurement of a body’s ability to absorb oxygen, and has specific correlation to your fitness level.
NOTE: You must wear the heart rate strap during the F
ITNESS TEST to monitor your heart rate.
1. Stand on the running belt and press the key.
■ If necessary, enter the Lockout ID to enable the treadmill for operation (see “Lockout ID Processing” for details).

key, as necessary, to increase or
decrease the displayed weight in 1 pound (or 1 kg) increments.
■ When your correct weight has been entered, press the
key to accept the displayed value.

CONTACT HEART RATE MONITORING
You may use the heart rate contact grips to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps.
1. Grasp the stainless steel heart rate contact grips; you do not have to squeeze tightly.
2. It may take from 30 to 60 seconds for the heart rate system to acquire and display your heart rate. While your heart rate
is acquired, a pulsing heart
displays in the Profile Window.
3. Once your heart rate has been acquired, the Profile Window returns to its normal display mode, and your current heart
rate in beats-per-minute (BPM) displays in the H
EART RATE Window.
4. Release the Heart Rate grips if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.
CHEST STRAP HEART RATE MONITORING
You may use the heart rate strap to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1. Before beginning your workout, or during a pause, moisten the back of the transmitter on the heart rate strap (not
included). Place the strap snugly around your chest with the transmitter resting directly over your sternum.
2. When your heart rate has been acquired, your heart rate in beats-per-minute (BPM) displays in the H
EART RATE Window.
3. Remove the heart rate strap, if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.
NOTE: The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and outside electrical
interference. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating other electrical equipment near
your treadmill when you use the heart rate strap.
