QUICK START TRACK / NUMERIC DISPLAY PARAMETERS
Users can choose from a Quick Start Exercise Track or Numeric display during Quick Start exer-
cise sessions. The following parameters are displayed for both choices.
NOTE: To toggle between displayed parameters (i.e., to change measurement units for calories, pace or dis-
tance) touch the yellow dot next to each parameter heading.
Time:
Cumulative time in minutes/seconds from the point at which the treadbelt begins to move
in either direction.
Distance:
The distance covered in miles or KM from the beginning to the end of the current exer-
cise session.
Calories:
Toggle between:
• Calories: Total calories burned by the user during the current exercise session. This value is dis-
played in real-time.
• Calories/Hr: Total calories that will be burned in one hour if exercise continues at the current
rate. This parameter is dependent upon a default weight of 150 pounds.
• METs: This value reflects the resting rate of Oxygen consumption with one MET equal to the
Oxygen consumption of a seated individual at rest. Thus, a seated individual in a resting state is
consuming one MET. A seated individual exercising at a rate of two METs is consuming twice the
Oxygen of a seated, resting individual. A person exercising at 10 METs is consuming ten times the
Oxygen of a seated, resting individual. To compute the METs of a person actively exercising on
the Gait Trainer 2, the system uses standard calculations based on American College of Sports
Medicine Guidelines for Testing and Exercise. The METs value is always displayed in real/time
for current speed.
Pace:
The amount of time it will take the user to move one mile or KM at the current treadbelt
speed.
Heart Rate:
This is the real-time heart rate of the user during the exercise session measured using
the contact handgrips.
