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

O w n e r ’ s m a n u a l

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 to your weight.
