Cardiovascular Defaults
While still in the Environment Defaults, click on the Cardiovascular Tab. Select the Cardio
Device that you will be using and select the Serial Port that it is connected to. It is
recommended to keep all other defaults.
• The Sub-Max Percent
default is 85%. The test will
end when the client achieves
85% of their max heart rate as
estimated from 220-age.
• Average the last 30 seconds
in a stage for the steady state
heart rate is default. This is to
get as close to the clients
steady state HR by taking the
last 30 seconds rather than the
entire 3 minute stage.
• End the test if the heart rate
exceeds the Sub-Max for 30
seconds is default. This is a
buffer system to account for
spikes in the heart rate and to
avoid stopping the test before
the client actually gets to the
85% of the estimated Max HR.
