It is important to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. The heart rate is
dependent on many factors, including:
l amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)
l time of day
l time since last meal (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)
l time since last drinking a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol or smoking a cigarette
(at least four hours is recommended)
l time since having last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)
For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three
consecutive days and average the three scores.
