2. Training for Racers

Get your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate, as precisely as possible. According to your
goal, set your target zone referring to the following:
A)Training for longer physical-endurance
Aiming at races which last for several days
60% - 70% (aerobic exercise)
B)Training for physical-endurance of about two hours
70% - 80% (aerobic exercise)
C)Training for pushing power at full force which lasts for about forty seconds
more than 85% (anaerobic exercise)
D)Training for instantaneous maximum power which lasts for several seconds
more than 95% (anaerobic exercise)
(Target heart rate) - (Resting heart rate)
• Training level (%) = x 100
(Maximum heart rate) - (
Resting
heart rate)
Training level
• Target heart rate =(Maximum heart rate – Resting heart rate) x +

• Resting heart rate
Your resting heart rate is measured when awakening in the morning
• Maximum heart rate
As a standard, the following calculations are generally used: (220 – age) or (204 – 0.69 x age).
For the precise figure, please consult a book which specializes heart rate training.
Troubleshooting
If a malfunction occurs, check the following before taking the unit to repair.
•When current speed does not appear, short-circuit the contacts on the back with metal. If the
speed display returns, the main unit is in normal condition.
•When the heart rate measuring is not correct, first check if there is any object around which
interferes with measuring such as radio systems, etc.
