Physical Fitness Level
and Training Index
The "Aerobic power measurement" program evaluates your physical fitness
level according to 5 levels, it also evaluates your maximum oxygen uptake
with an estimated value. Based on the result, you can choose your own train-
ing index (program type and exercise intensity) from the following.
Your strength level and training index (2)
1
Automatic Training
• In this program, the exercise intensity is set by the target pulse rate (beats
per minute: bpm). Select your target pulse rate from the following 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 exer-
cise often. If you have confidence, increase your target in 10 bpm units,
referring to the target zone in the illustration on page 22.
• 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 exercise,
set the target pulse rate lower so that you can easily exercise even while
watching TV, but extend your exercise time longer, exceeding 30 minutes.
• In this program the exercise intensity is set by the work rate: wattage. Se-
lect the target wattage from the table shown below, according to your
PWCmax. value provided by the Aerobic Power Measurement.
• 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".

Isopower Training

Interval Training
• In this program, select one of the 4 patterns (TLD 1 ~ 4) depending on
the power you want to improve, then set the exercise intensity by the
pedal resistance (torque: kg·m.).
• This program is for people with a long history of exercise.
• The following is a reference. Settings should match your physical fitness
level and purpose.

• 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 exercise time to
"actual exercise time + 3 minutes".
• Depending on the physical fitness level and purpose, some people may
exercise at a higher pulse limit than the value calculated by age. In such
instances, set the pulse limit slightly higher, being conscious of your own
physical condition.
• If you select the stamina aerobic power development pattern (TLD 3),
maintain your pulse rate in the 60 ~ 80% range of the illustration on page 22.
• 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".

Hill Profile Training
• Merely select one of the 9 patterns of this program. Try different hill pro-
files (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 expenditure will vary
in proportion with the pedal cadence and the exercise time.
