I applied at Austin FD and their medical screening is the NFPA 1582, including the Gerkin Treadmill test. Does anyone have experience with this? I know the test ends when I reach 85% of my target heart rate, which for me is 158 bpm. So it is my understanding that the test will end for me if my heart rate hits 158, even if the test hasn't ran the full 12:30 minutes.
Does anyone from Austin or the other FD's that participate in the NFPA 1582 regulations know if this will automatically kick me out of the process if this happens? I would appreciate any info on this.
