Metabolic Testing Course (Page 2)

Step 1: Review all Equipment

Every kit should come with:

1 xsmall AMA mask
2 small AMA masks
1 medium AMA mask
2 sets of AMA headgear
2 mask sizers
2 AMA Mask adaptors
1 RMA mask
2 sets of RMA headgear
1 Garmin 200 HRM
1 SpiroFit Breath Pilot

Step 2: Download the SpiroFit app or locate a club Ipad with the app loaded

Step 2a: There is no team member log in for the SpiroFit App. The “Select profile” screen is to build a member profile. The app uses the unique SpiroFit serial number to assign the test to the right club log in

Step 2b: Log in to the SpiroFit Website and Register your Device

The first time you log in, you will need to create a username and password and register your unit. This will create a club log in everyone will use to access test data.

Website: SpiroFit

Username: Use your clubs generic personal training email

Password: Set to Trainer1 for ease of troubleshooting

Setting Up the RMA Mask

A Resting Metabolic Assessment should take place in a calm, quiet environment. Work with your PTL and LG for where these assessments will take place. This could be a shared office, Ed Center, or Recovery space. The member should be in a reclined chair. A chair is available to order through workday if necessary.

Putting the Mask & HRM on the Member and Connecting

Notice that the unit should be on and running for at least 1 minute before the hoses are connected and the test is started

During the assessment, follow the workload prompts on the screen.

Unique to this new device is the ability to skip through a stage if necessary. This can be used if we picked too easy of a protocol and want to advance the intensity early in the test, or towards the end of the test to shorten the stages to get the client to their peak.

We should bring the client from an easy pace to their peak over the course of the assessment. Their peak does not mean they are falling off the treadmill or collapsing, but we do want them to at least a 9/10 intensity pushing hard. This will get the most accurate VO2 max results

Also new to this device is capturing 2 minutes of cooldown data. Seeing how quickly heart rate drops and how quickly the client and drop their CO2 numbers can make great reassessment data.

Uploading to the Server

At this point, you are done on the Ipad or IPhone and the rest of the data work will take place on a computer.

Transferring the Data from SpiroFit to the Team Member Hub

Your club will have one log in to the SpiroFit Website, the generic personal training email, talk with your PTL for your clubs username and password
