Indroduction
The Coaching concept introduces an intelligent training program offering the
user four different training targets to choose from. The computer takes charge
of the supervision and control of the training.
Users have various interests. Some users may wish to practice a special
cardiovascular training for health reasons, while others may prefer fitness training
or weight and fat content reduction, or even muscular mass development.
The ergo_bike will compute and monitor an optimal training plan based on the
available time and an individual fitness test. This training plan will be continually
updated and adjusted through regular and automatic control of the training
results to ensure an optimal training and success.
The ergo_bike will input the physical condition of the user, and the training
objective the user sets
for himself, and produces the correct training plan automatically.
- Coaching means: Set your training objective and start training. Everything
else will be individually adapted to the user.
- Coaching is, when used properly and with discipline, a simple, very efficient,
and logical program. The coaching program is the ideal training partner of any
user who wants to train regularly with an ergometer.
It is important here to apply the program as much as possible in conformity
with the training prescription issued by the computer for each user, and
that the training objectives correspond to the needs of the user. Every
user using this program, with regular training and proper programming,
will experience a positive effect on his fitness level and his general stand
toward training with an ergometer.
Fundamentals
The intelligent training program Coaching offers ergometer users the possibility
to approach the training device without worries. The device takes care of all
information and prescriptions to establish an optimal training model for the user.
Instead of simply training haphazardly, users benefit from a professionally
constructed training plan, taking into account their available time, their actual
and individual capacities, and their personal objectives.
To optimally use this program you must take the following essential points
into consideration:
1. All programs and training profiles were developed for healthy people. Users
wishing to use the Coaching program are required to invest a substantial amount
of time, to demonstrate endurance and willingness to perform, and to be
disciplined. Therefore we urgently recommend that users undergo a thorough
medical examination to determine their physical ability for sport activities before
starting a training with the intelligent coaching program. Should a user feel ill
during a coaching training, he or she should seek medical advice about physical
activities and continuing the training.
2. The user is required to enter the amount of time he or she can or want to train
(the number of training units per week), and to evaluate his own fitness level.
The user should not overestimate his capacity regarding the number of training
units and their difficulty grade. In sport activity overworking does not help, while
a thoughtful and controlled training plan leads generally faster and more efficiently
to its objective.
The same applies also to the self evaluation of the user physical performance
capacities before starting Coaching. A user who evaluates his capacities at a
lower level will achieve his training objectives safely and without overworking,
even though in a longer period of time.
3. The user must take a performance test at the start of the Coaching plan, and
then once every 4 weeks. The computer uses this test to determine the load
prescriptions (e.g. the maximum load in watt and the maximum heart pulse rate
during the training). This test is a full load test, and the user should only take it
to the point where she or he can go without overworking or overloading himself.
Very important!
Please do not let your ambition pull you! you must absolutely
avoid a physical overload!
Interrupt the test immediately if you feel the effort required is
too high!
4. When used properly, the coaching program will not turn users into high
performance athletes. The goal of this program is to preserve your health and
to increase your performance capacities, and to make you globally fit.
5. The user must make a very personal decision before the start of a coaching
program; which training objective is the most important for him. The main
objectives of the coaching program are (see also the overview diagram Coaching
at the beginning of the chapter):
- Cardiovascular training
- fitness training
- weight / fat content reduction
- muscle build-up
Premium Coaching leads you on an optimal path to the required training success
based on the latest discoveries about sports activities.
Coaching prerequisites
The following basic prerequisites must be satisfied, and the important settings
must be done on the
dashboard before the coaching program can be started.
- A user should train with the coaching program only with the pulse sensor (ear
clip), or the Cardio
sensor chest band (see page 6), on.
- Since the program depends on many personal and exact data, if possible, all
the required data and alarm values must be entered before starting the program
for the first time. Take into consideration that, as a special case for the Coaching
program, the data about the training duration (time), the distance (km), and the
kJoule burned need not be entered. These values are computed by the computer
of the ergo_bike for the Coaching program based on other data such as the
training type, the training plan, and the training control.
