True Fitness CS8 manual Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring

Page 15
A 30-year-old in good shape
might have a resting heart rate near 55, and might exer- cise for 20 minutes at a heart rate of 160.
A world-class distance run- ner or professional cyclist might have a resting heart rate near 45.
Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout if desired.
CS 8.0 Owner’s Guide
An average 30-year-old might have a resting heart rate, when sitting totally still for several minutes, of 65. During hard exercise that can be sustained for 10 to 15 minutes it might be around 140 continuously. A maxi- mum heart rate that requires maximal exercise for several minutes to attain is 185.
The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture below). Women should be careful to place the transmitter below their bra line.
Examples of Heart Rates
Found in Daily Life
When you wear a Polar or compatible transmitter strap, the bike will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout. This monitoring is very accurate, typically within one beat per minute.
