Maximal tests
This type of test is available in Run.
The the custom maximal test and the Wingate test are available in Top.
With the sole exception of the Technogym maximal test, we recommend wearing a heart rate monitor for maximal tests; if it is not worn, the maximum heart
rate value cannot be calculated.
Subject to all medical-sports precautions, maximal tests are considered concluded when the Stop key is pressed. These are in fact tests to exhaustion which
means the user presses the Stop key when the maximum eort he/she can withstand is reached. Maximal tests are therefore suitable for t and expert
users in good state of health.
However, in tests with a maximum number of stages, the test ends at the end of the last stage, even if the Stop key is not pressed. In this case it is recommended
to perform a more stranuous test.
A 3 minute cool down follows, with workloads lower than those used during the test.
