IMPORTANT! To save a training session you will need
to select a username.
USING SAVED PROGRAMS
1. Select OWN TRAINING.
2. Select a training session from the list.
3. Select the desired execution method:
A) Replay = repeat a previously saved exercise.
B) Edit = edit the duration of a previously saved
exercise before you start.
C) Race = compete against a previously saved
workout.
NOTE! You can only use programme profiles
created in the Manual function. These profiles show
effort as a constant torque (Nm).
4. Confirm your selection by pressing the selection
dial.
A) Replay = start pedaling to begin the exercise.
You can adjust the effort level with the selection
dial.
B) Edit = select the duration of the exercise with the
selection dial (set the time to 10-180 minutes). Start
pedaling to begin the exercise. You can adjust the
effort level with the selection dial.
C) Race = Using the selection dial, select the race
mode (time: the distance you can pedal in a given
time; or distance: how fast you can cover a given
distance) and confirm your selection using the
selection dial. The display shows a previously
saved program. Start pedalling to begin the race.
The dash line on the display shows whether you are
ahead or behind the benchmark training session,
which is the most recently saved training session
using this program. The distance to the previously
saved session is also displayed: the previously
saved training session is shown with a light blue
vertical dash line, and your race effort is shown
with a black vertical dash line.
5. To stop the training session, press the BACK/STOP
button. You can then stop the session by selecting
EXIT, save the session to the memory by selecting
SAVE AND EXIT or continue your training session
by selecting CONTINUE.
FITNESS TEST
The meter uses a multi-step fitness test. The test
begins at a low level of effort, which increases
steadily in accordance with the selected test type.
A multi-step test is a safe and reliable, submaximal
means of measuring a person’s physical fitness
level. The test continues until the test subject has
achieved his or her individual target heart rate (85%
of maximum heart rate). The test requires the use
of a heart rate belt: the meter monitors changes in
the heart rate throughout the test, using the data to
calculate an estimate of the tested person’s maximum
oxygen uptake capacity. The maximum oxygen uptake
capacity is the best measure of a person’s physical
fitness level. After the test, the meter gives versatile
information on your fitness level: a description and a
numerical value (ml/kg/min).
PREPARING FOR THE TEST
1. Make sure that the data associated with your
username is updated – the meter uses the user data as
a basis for the fitness test.
2. Select FITNESS TEST.
3. Using the selection dial, select the most suitable
fitness category for you:
A) Inactive = no regular exercise, poor physical
condition
B) Active = regular exercise, average or good
physical condition
C) Athletic = active training, good or excellent
physical condition
4. The display shows the appropriate test type for each
fitness category:
A) Step time = duration of different effort levels in
the test
B) First step = initial effort level
C) Step power = effort level of steps (in watts), the
test features several steps
5. Confirm your selection by pressing the selection
dial.
6. If necessary, you can adjust your target heart rate
value using the selection dial. Confirm your settings
using the selection dial.
7. The display informs you that you can stop the test
once you reach the target heart rate for the test. Start
the test by pressing the selection dial.
PERFORMING THE TEST
1. The display shows the selected test step type. Start
pedaling to begin the test. A red diagram that updates
as you progress in the test represents your heart rate.
A discontinuous line in red indicates your target heart
rate.
2. Once the target heart rate level has been achieved,
the meter gives an audio signal and displays a
message. We recommend that you end the test
here, unless you are relatively fit. If you have set
your target heart rate correctly (that is, if you have
calculated your maximum heart rate accurately
enough), continuing the test beyond this point will not
increase the accuracy of the result. If you overestimate
your maximum heart rate, your fitness level will
be overestimated. Similarly, if you underestimate
your maximum heart rate, your fitness level will be
underestimated.
3. To stop the test once you reach the target heart rate
level, press the BACK/STOP button or stop pedaling.
The meter will now switch to the test result display:
A) Aerobic fitness = an estimate of your fitness
level in your regular effort zone, which gives the
best indication of the state of your health-related
fitness.
B) MET value = a reading that shows the multiple
of your maximum oxygen uptake at complete rest.
C) ml/kg/min = a reading that tells how many
millilitres of oxygen per kilogram of body weight
per minute your body consumes.
D) l/min = a reading that tells your oxygen uptake
in litres per minute. Unlike the above values, l/min
does not take account of the user’s body weight.
E) Wmax = an estimate of your maximal exercise
power, measured in watts.
F) W/kg = the ratio of your maximal exercise power
