14. TRAINING CONTROL WITH THE PULSE FUNCTIONS

See chapter 13 for information on making the settings. For focused training control it is necessary to keep the pulse in certain ranges through specific stress, see chapter 7.2. The different training programs are defined by a low limit and high limit. The pulse range between the two values is usually the target range for your training. After determining the pulse ranges (automatically or manually) your VDO computer records the residency period in the target range as well as the times above and below the target range. For real-time monitoring your VDO computer indicates when you leave the target range via an acoustic signal, if you have set this function beforehand (see chapter 13.1)

14.1. TRAINING WITH THE STOPWATCH

The stopwatch offers the easiest possibility for capturing pulse data. When the stopwatch is running pulse data is recorded. Interruption/ continuation of the recording is possible at any time with ∫ .

step 1 Preparing the recording:

-Set the training ranges automatically chapter 7.1, or manually chapter 7.2

-Select training program limit 1, limit 2, limit 3, chapter 7.3

-In the TIMER SETTINGS setting menu select STOPWATCH, chapter

13.2.

step 2 Beginning of the recording:

 

∫

Start the recording

4sec.

≈

Switch on/switch off the acoustic pulse signal

step 3 End/interruption of the recording:

∫Stop the recording

step 4 Display of the values (even during recording)

≈Display data via the LIMIT LO HI pulse menu (display automatically shows the times for the three ranges in %)

-Time above the high limit

-Time between the limit values

-Time under the low limit

step 5 Deleting recorded data 4sec. ∫

TIP: At the end of the training unit measure the recovery time or the recovery pulse to determine your training status. See 7.4. Recovery time and recovery pulse

Note: All bicycle altitude and pulse function can also be called up during timer operation via the ç √ ¥ ≈ buttons.

14.2. TRAINING WITH TIMER 1 / TIMER 2 / TIMER 1+2

Independently of each other Timer 1 or timer 2 offer the possibility of integrating intervals with manual control in the training.

Timer 1: Programmable timer with forward counting, auto-repeat function, single beep after elapse of timer 1.

Timer 2: Programmable timer with forward counting. Auto-repeat function, double beep after elapse of timer 2.
