The Power Test is used to determine the resistance at which you achieve MAXIMUM POWER. The test consists of two sets (three
repetitions each):
•
Set 1 - Three reps performed at a very low resistance, high speed.
(
“P1” appears in the RESISTANCE window during this test set)
•
Set 2 - Three reps performed at a high resistance, high speed (near your maximum).
(
“P2” appears in the RESISTANCE window during this test set)
NOTE: Perform all repetitions as fast as you possibly can at the given resistance. Speed is essential in power output; and
therefore, to produce maximum power you must produce maximum speed and resistance.
The Power Test may be performed with or without an eChip.
To start the Power Test, follow the instructions below:
1.
Press and hold both Thumb Buttons (+/-) for
approximately three seconds until “6r”
displays in the
RESISTANCE window. Then, release the Thumb Buttons.
NOTE: The current resistance will display and
“P1”
appears in the TARGET REPS (see Figure 10).
2.
Set resistance very low (10% of your maximum).
3.
Do one repetition at maximum speed.
Pause 10 seconds.
Repeat 2 more times.
NOTE:
“P2” appears in the
TARGET REPS window to
indicate the start of the second set of the Power Test
(see Figure 11).
4.
Increase the resistance to a high level (80-90% of your
maximum).
5. Do one repetition at maximum speed.
Pause 10 seconds.
Repeat 2 more times.
6. The flashing number is your RESISTANCE SETTING FOR
MAXIMUM POWER (see Figure 12).
To exit the Power Test mode or resume exercise, perform one
of the following:
•
If eChip is inserted, remove eChip.
•
If no eChip is inserted, press both Thumb Buttons (+/-)
until “CLEr” is displayed.
NOTE: If
“Er”
appears in the CURRENT POWER window, there
was not enough difference in resistance between the low
and high sets. Try again with greater difference in resistance
between the low and high sets.
To restart Power Test, reinsert eChip (if the eChip is being
used) and Repeat Power Test instructions.
POWER TEST
CAUTION: NEVER PERFORM POWER TEST WITHOUT PROPER WARM UP. This high resistance/high speed
test should only be performed with proper instruction. Always maintain good form and control during the test.
If you feel pain or are unable to maintain good form, stop immediately. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury.
