HEART RATE CALCULATION
Before beginning any test, calculate your maximum heart rate. The maximum number of
heartbeats that a person must not exceed is referred to as the maximum heart rate and this value
drops with age. A simple formula to calculate this is to subtract your age, in years, from the number
220. To ensure that you are exercising correctly, try to keep between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart rate value.
For example, the maximum heart rate that a 30 year old user must not exceed is:
220 – 30 = 190 heart beats per minute (BPM).
190 x 0.65 = 123 heart beats per minute.
190 x 0.85 = 161 heart beats per minute. Do not exceed 85%.
So the heart rate exercise range for a 30 year old is between 123 and 161 BPM.
Stop exercising if your pulse is 85% of your maximum heart rate.
NOTE: Some test will Only record heart rate using a telemetric Chest band such as the POLAR
T41 Transmitter. Some test will record heart rate using the hand grip sensors.
PROGRAM MODE
Screen 6
The exercise programs on this machine have to be done at a set rate, if you fail
to achieve this rate the monitor will instruct you to increase your exercise rate by
displaying a sign such as the R.P.M.
↑
(Revolutions Per Minute) in screen 6.
This monitor offers the following programs: “goals”; four preset programs under “profile manager”; one
“fitness test”; one “heart control” program; one “constant watt” program.
This monitor also offers “quickstart”.“Quickstart” is not programmed; the user sets the level of exercise
difficulty.
GOALS PROGRAM

A)-
Time
setting for the exercise.
B)-
