5.3. Balke Fitness Test (Cardio and Landice Achieve)
Note: You must use the pulse grips or wireless chest strap
(residential models only) for this test.
This is a walking pace, variable incline fitness test. The test
increases in difficulty to raise your heart rate. Upon reaching
your Target Heart Rate, the test ends and the treadmill
calculates your fitness assessment. Parameters cannot be
modified. Your age determines the test’s target heart rate and
the scaling of the fitness assessment.
Test Parameters:
• Maximum Speed: 4.4 mph
• Maximum Incline: 15%
• Maximum Heart Rate: 80% of Maximum Heart Rate
(See Heart Rate Monitoring sections).
To run the test:
1. On the Cardio and Landice Achieve, press HEARTRATE
PROGRAMS to view the HRC programs selection screen.
To scroll through the programs, either continue to press
HEARTRATE PROGRAMS or use the arrow keys. Select
the Balke Fitness Test by pressing ENTER. To access this
program on the Landice Achieve, press PROGRAMS then
FITNESS TESTS.
2. Use the keypad or arrow to enter your age (10 to 99), then
press ENTER or wait 3 seconds.
3. Enter your gender using the center arrow to toggle to MALE
or FEMALE. Press ENTER or wait 3 seconds.
Note: The calculated target heart rate displayed before you start
the test is derived from statistical heart rate capacity
averages. (See “Heart Rate Monitoring” on page 15.) If you
are uncomfortable with the target heart rate displayed or
feel discomfort during the fitness test, stop the test.
