LIMITING THE RESISTANCE RANGE
After pressing ENTER to accept the Pause time limit, you have the option to change the resistance range.The resistance range does not affect the number of resistance settings (1 through 25) that are available to the user. It determines how much resistance is felt at each resistance setting, and how big the step in resis- tance is from one resistance setting to the next.
The default resistant range is HIGH. It provides the full resistance available from the cycle. When the resistance range is set to HIGH and a user chooses the high- end resistance levels using the arrow keys, the cycle provides enough resistance to simulate sprinting or hill climbing for users wishing to stand on an upright cycle. It also provides enough resistance for elite riders that are capable of spinning at high speed with high resistance.
The MEDIUM resistance range provides approximately two thirds of the resistance that is available with the HIGH setting. The maximum resistance available (a user chooses a resistance setting of 25) is reduced and the change, in resistance from one resistance setting to the next, is reduced. Clubs may want to select the MEDIUM range for recumbent cycles. Since users cannot stand on a recumbent cycle, less resistance is needed by the average
The LOW resistance range provides approximately one third of the resistance that is available with the HIGH setting. The LOW range may be appropriate in special situations where deconditioned users are anticipated, but the LOW range is not recommended for the normal club environment.
