HEART RATE
No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart rate.
HEART RATE MEASUREMENT WITH HANDGRIP SENSORS
Heart rate is measured from the hands using the sensors located on the handlebars. The sensors measure electric impulses, which are formed when a person’s heart beats. Measurement is started by touching both handlebar sensors simultaneously. To ensure reliable heart rate measurement, skin must be slightly moist and skin contact with sensors must be continuous. If skin is too dry or too wet, the heart rate measurement operation from the hands is less reliable. Try to keep your upper body and palms relaxed and still.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
The most reliable heart rate measurement is achieved with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the console by means of an electromagnetic field.
NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.
If you want to measure your heart rate this way during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in contact with the skin while exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart rate reading to the console up to a distance of about 1 m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the
When selecting training attire, please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Please note that a mobile phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electromagnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.
First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know your maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as a guide:
220 - AGE
These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum
