ILITARY FITNESS TEST
AIR FORCE PRT
The 95Ce exercise bike features an Air Force Physical Readiness Test (PRT). This test is similar to the fit
test workout, except that it does not have a preset time goal. The Air Force PRT is located in the Personal
Trainer Workouts.
To begin an Air Force PRT:
O
Choose PERSONAL TRAINER, AIR FORCE PRT.
O
Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, including WEIGHT, AGE, AND GENDER. Press Enter
after each selection to record the entry.
O
The message area will next prompt for a user Fitness Level ("Do you participate in Aerobic Activity
at least 20 minutes per session 3+ times per week"). 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 theoretical 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.
