PULSE MEASUREMENT WITH

HAND GRIP PULSE

Pulse measurement is based on the monitoring of peripheral circulation. The handgrip sensors in the handlebars take a pulse measurement when the user is touching both sensors simultaneously. Pulse measurement requires that the skin is constantly touching the sensors and that the skin is slightly moist.

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 heart-rate reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes warm up properly to ensure accurate heart rate measurement. If there are several telemetric heart rate measurement devices next to each other, the distance between them should be at least 1.5 m. Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter should be within transmission range. The transmitter is switched to an active state only when it is being used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes carefully after use.

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:

208 - 0,7 X AGE

These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you.

We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven’t exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners’ respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts.

KEYS

1. MANUAL

Allows you to set your effort level with the arrow keys during the workout.

2. MEMORY

Saves and recalls manual programs.

3. PROGRAMS

This program contains ready-made training profiles. The program changes automatically the intensity level during your workout. The display shows the profile and the changes, and the intensity can be manually adjusted.

4. WATT CONTROL

This program allows you to preset your effort level (in watts), i.e. pedaling effort is independent of pedaling speed and remains exactly at the preset level. As the pedaling speed increases the resistance is reduced and vice versa. The set value can be changed also during the workout. The display shows the effort level and the changes in effort. You can choose the effort level to your liking with arrow keys.

5. TEST

This program allows you to test your condition safely and reliably.

6. TARGET HR

This program allows you to preset your pulse level, i.e. the resistance is regulated so that your pulse remains at the requested level. If the pulse tends to rise, resistance is reduced automatically and vice versa. The set value can
