5 THE 6 KINDS OF PROGRAMS

Fitness Test (physical fitness test)

¥Over a period of 10 minutes, you will encounter three different levels of pedal resis- tance. Your pulse will change in response to the different levels of resistance, and this change in pulse will be used to calculate your overall fitness level, also expressed is MOU (VO2 max). MOU stands for maximum oxygen uptake. The higher your over- all fitness level, the greater your endurance.

¥Your MOU value is compared with the MOU values of other people who are the same age and sex as you. You are given a physical strength number from 1 to 5 depending on how you rank.

¥These results should give you a good idea of your own fitness level and help you to determine what sort of training program will be the most effective for you. For infor- mation on how to choose a training program, refer to ÒYour strength level and train- ing indexÓ on page 26~27 in the Operation section on this booklet.

HR control training (training at a constant pulse rate)

¥You set the pulse rate at which you want to exercise and the Ergometer automati- cally adjusts pedal resistance to maintain that pulse rate. This is an ideal basic form of aerobic training.

¥As you repeat the exercise at a certain pulse rate and make progress in your fitness level, you will be able to create a greater work intensity under the same pulse rate. Further, you will be able to try exercising at a higher target pulse rate.

Constant Wattage Control Training (training at a constant energy expenditure)

¥The wattage (work intensity) shown on the screen of the Ergometer is calculated from pedal resistance (kgám) and cadence (rpm).

¥In constant wattage control training, you set the desired work intensity in wattage. The Ergometer automatically adjusts the pedal resistance (kgám) depending on your pedal cadence (rpm), so as to keep a constant wattage (work intensity).

¥This type of training is also called constant load, and is often used in cardio-vascular rehabilitation.

Control range: cadence: 40~100 rpm wattage: 25~200 watts

Caution: If you set your target wattage as under 50 watts, control limit of ca- dence (rpm) becomes under 100 rpm.

Hill training ( training by cycling up mountains )

¥Pedal resistance changes over time to simulate the effect of cycling in the mountains. All changes in pedal resistance are shown on the screen.

¥The following three types of mountain profiles plus one customized pattern are pro- grammed.

Pattern-1: the Rockies (U.S.A.)

Pattern-2: the Cascades (U.S.A.)

Pattern-3: the Pyrenees (France, Spain)

¥The mountain profiles from 1 to 3 are arranged in order of ascending difficulty. Do not strain yourself, but rather enjoy the form of each mountain.

¥The cycle time for a given pattern is 15 minutes. The same pattern is repeated in accordance with the exercise time.
