fig.13: Fitness value display
fig.14: No pulse recognition (E) during recovery pulse measuring
To be noted
If no pulse value is displayed, no recovery pulse function will be
performed.
After pressing the recovery button, quickly grasp the hand pulse
sensor again since otherwise pulse measuring will be interrupted.
Home trainer
Speed calculation
60 pedal rotations per minute result in a speed of 21.3 km/h.
Kilojoule calculation
From the view of sports physicians there is the following energy
consumption during cycling: 1 hour cycling at 24 km/h requires
1680 kJ
1 kilometre results in 70 kJ
This calculation is based upon a medium training intensity and is
only changed by a variation of the pedalling frequency.
Cross trainer
Speed calculation
60 pedal rotations result in a speed of 9.5 km/h.
Kilojoule calculation
From the view of sports physicians there is the following energy
consumption during cross training: 1 hour training at 9.5 km/h re-
quires 3344 kJ
1 kilometre results in 352 kJ (with medium training intensity)
Fitness value calculation
The computer calculates and assesses the difference between load
pulse and recovery pulse and your resulting "fitness value" on the
basis of the following formula:
Note ( F ) = 6 —
(
10 x ( P1 — P2 )
)
2
P1
P1 = load pulse P2 = recovery pulse
Value 1 = very good Value 6 = unsatisfactory
The comparison of load and recovery pulse is a simple and fast
method to control your physical fitness. The fitness value is a va-
lue of orientation with regard to your ability to recover after phy-
sical load. Before you press the recovery pulse button (15) and
have the computer calculate your fitness value you should train in
your load range for a longer time, this means for at least 10 mi-
nutes. With regular cardiovascular training you will notice that
your "fitness value" will improve.
Information on pulse measuring
Pulse measuring starts when the heart in the display flashes ac-
cording to the beat of your pulse.
Pulse measurement via ear clip
Teh pulse sensor works with infrared light and measures the chan-
ges in the light transmission of the skin caused by your pulse fre-
quency. Before fitting the ear clip the ear lobe should be rubbed
10 times to stimulate blood circulation.
9.0 General
If you step in the pedals for more than 20 rotations, an automatic
display change SCAN (symbol 2 in the display) will take place in
a 5-second cycle. With the Set button you can switch it off. With
the +/– button you can then skip one display range forward or
backward.
To be noted
Distance and Speed (13) change in a 5-second-cycle.
If a preset value (except the pulse limit) is reached, it will imme-
diately be shown in the large display (10).
If you stay below 20 rotations, the electronic system will recogni-
se an interruption of training. The automatic display change will
stop, the SCAN symbol disappears, P will be displayed and the
current range remains standing still in the large display. If you do
not continue training within 4 minutes, the display will change to
room temperature (Fig. 1). In this case, the distance is added to
the total kilometres covered. All other values will not be stored.
To be noted
Distance and Speed (13) change in a 5-second-cycle.
With the +/– button you can skip one display range forward or
backward. With the Set button you get back into the input mode.
In this case, all previous training data and preset values are de-
leted.
Step on the pedals. The values will count on.
The training computer is equipped with a recovery pulse function
that enables you to measure your recovery pulse at the end of
your training.
At the end of your training press the recovery pulse button. The
computer will count down for 60 seconds and measure your pul-
se (Fig. 12). Afterwards, a fitness value with (F) is displayed (Fig.
13) the calculation of which is explained in 9.0 General. If pulse
measuring is interrupted, (E) is displayed instead of a value. If you
press the recovery button, the current training display will appear
again.
