Training Instructions
Sports medicine and training science use cycle ergometry,
among other things, for the examination of the functional capa-
bility of heart, circulation and respiratory system.
You can find out whether or not you have achieved the desired
effect from your training after several weeks using the following
method:
1. You manage a particular endurance performance with less
heart / circulation performance than previously
2. You sustain a particular endurance performance with the
same heart / circulation performance over a longer period.
3. You recover more quickly than previously after a particular
heart / circulation performance.
Guide values for the endurance training
Maximum pulse:
maximum strain means the reaching of the
individual maximum pulse. The maximum achievable heart rate
is dependant on age.
Here, the following empirical formula applies: the maximum
heart rate per minute corresponds to 220 heart beats minus age
in years.
Example: age 50 years -> 220 – 50 = 170 pulse / min.
Load Intensity
Load pulse:
the optimum intensity of load is reached at 65–75%
(see also diagram) of the maximum pulse. This value changes
depending on age.

Extent Of Load
Duration of a training unit and its frequency per week:
The optimum extent of load is attained, if 65–75% of the indivi-
dual heart / circulation performance is achieved over a longer
period.
Empirical Formula:
Beginners should not begin with training units of 30-60 minutes.
The beginner’s training can be planned as follows in the first 4
weeks:
It is recommended that you perform approx. 5 minutes of exer-
cises before and after every training unit, in order to warm up
and cool down. There should be a training-free day between
each two consecutive training units, if you prefer training sessi-
ons of 20-30 minutes 3 times a week later on in your training.
Otherwise, there is no reason why you should not train daily.
