7.3.1 Manual use
Begin to put in personal data like sex, weight, age
and max. heart rate.
Workload - Force setting
The workload can be set in Newtons(N) or kp.
Power is in this mode depending on the pedal
rpm.
Workload can be increased or decreased with
keys 7/4, 8/4 and 9/5.
Key 7/4, increase / decrease step 1.00 kp or •
10 N
Key 8/5, increase / decrease step 0.10 kp or 1 •
N.
Key 9/6, increase / decrease step 1.00 kp or •
0.1 N.
Press start/stop when finished. •
Workload - Power setting
Power level can be set in watts or kpm/min.
Power level is not depending on pedal rpm.
Key 7/4, increase/decrease step 100 watts or •
100 kpm/min.
Key 8/5, increase/decrease step 10 watts or 10 •
kpm/min.
Key 9/6, increase/decrease step 1 watts or 1 •
kpm/min.
Press start/stop when finished. •
Workload - VO2
This is also a type of power setting. The advan-
tage in this mode is that the workload can be set
in ml/min/kg which means that the power is rela-
ted to the subjects bodyweight. A certain level of
ml/min is always the same as a given power level.
See table in chapter ”Testing - general”.
Key 7/4, increase/decrease step 10 ml/min/kg •
or 1 l/min.
Key 8/5, increase/decrease step 1 ml/min/kg or •
0.1 l/min.
Key 9/6, increase/decrease step 0.1 ml/min/kg •
or 0.01 l/min.
Press start/stop when finished. •
Workload - HR related <BPM>
The Heart Rate program is designed to adjust
the workload in an attempt to maintain a desi-
red heart rate. This is achieved by increasing the
workload from zero, at the start, using incremen-
tal steps. How fast the power is adjusted is de-
pending on how far away the actual heart rate is
from the desired heart rate.
At heart rate lower than the desired setting the
workload will increase with 60W (375 kpm/min)
per minute until the subjects heart rate is higher
than 75 % of the desired heart rate. The power
will then increase at 30 watts (180 kpm/min) per
minute until the actual heart rate is within 5 bpm
from the desired value. The power is kept at a
constant level as long as the subjects heart rate
is /- 5 bpm from the programmed heart
rate value.increment. The work test continues
until the it is stopped by the start/stop button
(key 3).
The target heart rate is entered as part of the
test preparation. Default value is 120 bpm. The
target training rate may be changed to suit the
training program by just entering the value on
the keyboard.
Key 7/4 increases/decreases 100 bpm. •
Key 8/5 increases/decreases 10 bpm. •
Key 9/6 increases/decreases 1bpm. •
NOTE: The maximum target heart rate that can
be set is 90% of the calculated max. heart rate
(220 - age).
The resultant workload which is determined by
the computer to maintain the target heart rate,
may be used as a basis for comparison over time,
in an effort to objectively evaluate the effective-
ness of training program.
Setup subject and follow menu.
Protocol operation may be terminated by depres-
sing START/STOP key(3).
