To operate the Firefighter Test program:
The F
IREFIGHTER TEST is based on the Gerkin Protocol 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 condition of the firefighters. The program operates as follows:
• Warm-Up: During warm-up, the treadmill runs at 3.0 mph (4.8 kph), 0% incline for 3 minutes.
• Stage 1: At 3 minutes, treadmill speed increases gradually to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The test begins at 4.5 mph (7.2
kph). During the test, heart rate is continuously monitored.
• Stage 2: After one minute, treadmill incline increases to 2%.
• Stage 3: After one minute, treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph (8.0 kph).
• Stages 4 through 11: After every odd minute, treadmill incline increases an additional 2%. After every even
minute, treadmill speed increases by 0.5 mph (0.8 kph). Once the user’s heart rate exceeds the target HR (85% of
maximum), the individual continues the elevation for an additional 15 seconds. During this 15 second period, the
evaluation remains at the stage where the target HR is exceeded, with speed or grade unchanged. If the HR does
not return to or below the target HR, the evaluation ends and the final evaluation stage is recorded. If the HR
returns to or below the target HR, 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 heart rate exceeds target for more than 15 seconds or the user
completes all 11 stages, whichever occurs first. The treadmill will enter a Cooldown cycle for 3 minutes at 3.0 mph
(4.8 kph), 0% incline.
NOTE: You must wear the heart rate strap during the F
IREFIGHTER TEST to monitor your heart rate.

set at 0%. After one minute, treadmill incline increases to 2%. After one more minute, treadmill speed increases to
5.0 mph (8.0 kph). For the remainder of the program: After every odd minute, treadmill incline increases an
additional 2%, and after every even minute, treadmill speed increases by 0.5 mph (0.8 kph).
NOTE: During the test, you MAY NOT adjust treadmill speed or incline, and you MAY NOT pause the program. If
your heart rate exceeds the target heart rate (85% of maximum), the treadmill remains at the current speed and
