4.4 HEART RATE CONTROL WORKOUT OPERATION
Your Matrix treadmill offers a heart rate control workout mode. The
heart rate control workout mode allows the user to program their
desired heart rate zone and maximum allowable incline and the
treadmill will automatically adjust the incline based upon the user's
heart rate. The heart rate zone is calculated using the following
equation:(220-Age)*%=targetheartratezone.Theusermustwear
a telemetric heart rate monitor or continually hold onto the contact
heart rate grips for this workout.
1) Choose TARGET HEART RATE by selecting the target heart rate
workout button.
2)EnterthedesiredworkouttimeusingtheARROWKEYSorthe
SLIDER.
3)Entertheuser'sageusingtheARROWKEYSortheSLIDER.
3) Enter the desired percentage of maximum heart rate using the
ARROWKEYSortheSLIDER.
4) Enter the user's weight (the user's weight is used to calculate
the caloric expenditure value, providing an accurate weight helps to
ensure an accurate caloric expenditure rating for each user) using
theARROWKEYSortheSLIDER.

4.5 FITNESS TEST WORKOUT OPERATION
Your Matrix treadmill offers a variety of fitness tests - the Gerkin
Firefighter Protocol, the Army, Navy, USMC, and USAF as well as
the Physical Efficiency Battery (PEB).
The Gerkin Protocol was developed by Dr. Richard Gerkin of the
Phoenix (Arizona) Fire Department. It is a sub-maximal graded
treadmill evaluation used by many Fire Departments across the
United States to assess the physical condition of the firefighters.
The test requires constant monitoring of the user's heart rate so the
use of a telemetric chest strap is highly encouraged. The workout
operates as follows:
WARM UP: The warm up is 3 minutes long and runs at 3.0 mph
(4.8kph)and0%incline.
STAGE 1: At the 3 minute mark, the treadmill will gradually
increase speed to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The actual test begins at 4.5
mph (7.2 kph).
STAGE 2: After one minute, the treadmill incline will increase to
2%.
STAGE 3: After one minute, the treadmill speed increases to 5.0
mph (8.0 kph).
STAGES 4 THROUGH 11: After every odd minute the treadmill
inclinewillincreaseby2%.Aftereveryevenminutethetreadmill
speed will increase by 0.5 mph (0.8 kph). Once the user's heart
rateexceedsthetargetheartrate(85%ofmaximumasdetermined
bytheequation(220-Age)*%=targetheartratezone),theindividual
continues the evaluation for an additional 15 seconds. During
the 15 second period, the evaluation remains at the stage where
the target heart rate is exceeded, without any change to speed
or incline. If the heart rate does not return to or below the target
heart rate, the evaluation ends and the final evaluation stage is
recorded. If the heart rate returns to or below the target heart rate,
the program continues at the point where it would have been had
the program not stabilized for 15 seconds.
TEST COMPLETION: The test is completed when user's heart
rate exceeds the target for more than 15 seconds or when the user
completes all 11 stages, whichever occurs first. The treadmill will
enteracooldowncyclefor3minutesat3.0mph(4.8kph),0%
incline.
