Physical Fitness Level
and Training Index
Your strength level and training index (2)
1. Automatic Training
The "Aerobic power measurement" program evaluates your physical
fitness level according to 5 levels, and it also evaluates your maximum
oxygen uptake with an estimated value. Based on the result, you can
choose your own training level (program type and exercise intensity)
from the following index.
• In this program, the exercise intensity is set by the target pulse rate
(beats per minute: bpm). Select your target pulse rate from the fol-
lowing table, based on your age and physical fitness level (PFL)
from 1 to 5.
• If the target you select is difficult, reduce the target pulse rate by 10
bpm. You need not work hard from the beginning, continuing is
most important.
• This table is arranged so that even people who have not exercised so
much can benefit. The targets in this table may be too easy for
people who exercise often. If you have confidence, increase your
target in 10 bpm units, referring to the target zone in the illustration
on page 21.
• Exercise for at least a 15 minute period. If possible a 20 ~ 30 minute
period is even better.
• If overweight control (calorie combustion) is the purpose of the ex-
ercise, set the target pulse rate lower so that you can easily exercise
even while watching TV, but extend your exercise time longer, ex-
ceeding 30 minutes.

2. Isopower Training
• In this program the exercise intensity is set by the work rate: watt-
age. Select the target wattage from the table shown below, accord-
ing to your PWCmax. value provided by the Aerobic Power Meas-
urement.
• If the selected wattage proves too hard for you, try again at the level
10 watts lower. When it becomes easy enough, raise the target by 10
watts.
• Exercise for at least a 15 minute period. If possible a 20 ~ 30 minute
period is even better. Since warm up takes 3 minutes, set your actual
exercise time to "actual exercise time + 3 minutes".
• In this program, the exercise intensity is set by the pedal resistance
(torque: kg.m.).
• Exercise for at least a 15 minute period. If possible a 20 ~ 30 minute
period is even better. Since the warm up takes 3 minutes, set your
exercise time to "actual exercise time + 3 minutes".

4. Hill Profile Training
3. Manual Training
• Merely select one of the 3 patterns of this program. Try different
hill profiles (shape of the mountain) in a range where you don't
feel too much difficulty. The exercise intensity can also be adjusted
by pedaling slower or faster depending on the changes of pedal
resistance.
• First, choose the most suitable preference (PRF) according to your
PWCmax value, from the table shown below.
• The exercise time is initially set as 16 minutes, but you can revise it
down to minimum 3 minutes or up to 99 minutes.
• The calorie consumption provided above is based on the cadence
of 60 rpm and the exercise time of 16 minutes. The calorie expendi-
ture will vary in proportion with the pedal cadence and the exer-
cise time.
