Distance / Distance training
The distance training works in a rpm-dependent mode, which means that the intensity adjusts when the rpm
changes. For this program, the parameters distance and intensity level/gear (1-21) must be pre-selected. At any
time during the workout, the level can be adjusted with
+/-
. The chosen distance will countdown and the
intensity is determined from among the 21 intensity levels. The workload is shown in km/h in the display. The
time that is needed to complete the distance can be used as an indicator of performance.
After completing the program, a display of the results is initiated.
Watt sensitive (not available for fitness units)
Watt constant training programs are likely to be used in the field of training control and therapy, because the
intensity control can be very accurate. As long as there are no orthopaedic reasons for therapy, the rpm-
independent power control of ergometers has a lot of advantages.
However, if problems in the extremities used exist, the rpm-independent power control can lead to overstress. A
reduction of the rpm increases the pedal impact a lot and can lead to overstress or program abort.
To eliminate these negative aspects, excessive torsion can be avoided in the watt sensitive program by an
intelligent program control. During the program setting, a rpm limit gets selected. When the limit gets undercut
the pedal resistance gets redeemed immediately.
Also the overshoot of the limited heart rate gets controlled. When it gets overshot for a longer time, a watt
reduction of 10% every 30 seconds is the result (see motion pulse manager brochure).
The target resistance will be reached via a ramp during the first 2 minutes. That way the trainee gets used to the
power and an adequate warm-up is assured.
The biofeedback function is in this program active and gives feedback according to the target rpm.
Therapy (not available for fitness units)
Also in rehabilitation the total intensity of the training gets controlled with the intensity steering factors
workout time as well as intensity, alongside the recovery progress. As a general rule intensity changes occur by
increasing the workload (e.g. increasing of the wattage). At the therapy training the intensity gets varied
several times within the program. After a two minute warm-up in ramp shape, 6 intervals of one minute each,
with one minute active rest (50% of the impact intensity) per interval follow.
The maximum interval impact in watt gets limited as well as the rpm limit below which the pedal power gets
clearly decreased. Also the overshooting of the pre-entered heart rate gets controlled. When overshooting for a
longer time a reduction of the wattage of 10% every 30 seconds follows (see motion pulse manager brochure).
A Cool Down function over 3 minutes rounds up the training. Overall the program lasts 17 minutes.
The biofeedback function is also active in this program and gives feedback according to the target rpm.

Pulse controlled programs
Concerning the working of pulse controlled programs such as pulse program, Kcal training, Watt sensitive and
Therapy, please refer to the brochure “motion pulse manager”.

PC-Interface
All ergometers are equipped standardly with an RS232 interface. This interface is not equipped with a galvanic
isolation or external power supply. By this the ergometer can be controlled via a PC, an ECG, spiroergometry
device, aso, if both devices are using the same interface protocol. Please note, that with medical use, the rules
for electric safety must be obeyed. Optionally, a RS232 interface with galvanic isolation can be ordered (when
the machine is being build), in order to limit the risk resulting from any malfunction of the connected device.
Please contact your dealer, when you have more questions about this issue.
If the monitor shall be active for a longer period – especially prior to the start of a training/test – a stabilized,
medically approved, 9 Volt power supply unit has to be connected. This is not included in the standard Rs232
setting.
After connecting the power supply, the display is being activated for 3 Minutes and then goes into standby.
With the next push of a button, it is ready instantly.
