1. The client puts on a mask and heart rate strap. The mask is connected to the CardioCoach PLUS™ device via the VO2 hose.
2. The client exercises on a stationary device such as a bicycle, treadmill, or stair stepper. They gradually increase their intensity over a period of 6 to 20 minutes until the CardioCoach PLUS™ indicates that the anaerobic threshold (AT) has been detected. At this point, the client may stop exercising and begin a cool down phase.
3. The CardioCoach PLUS™ compiles the data, analyzes the results and will print a fitness profile in a simple, insightful report where exercise zones are identified. Trainers can further customize their client's workout by utilizing the CardioCoach™ Monitor software, an optional upgrade.

RMR Test

1. The client should be seated or reclining, and is encouraged to rest during the test.
2. Client breathes through a disposable mouthpiece (MetaBreather™) that is connected to the CardioCoach Plus™. Make sure the adapter is in place to properly attach the MetaBreather™ hose. A nose clip is used to assure that all air passes through the MetaBreather™.
3. The client continues until the device indicates that RMR has been calculated. This usually takes about 12 minutes. The CardioCoach Plus™ displays the RMR results on the screen and prints out a detailed report in a format that aids client teaching.
