Workload resistance

 

resistance level 

 Octane Fitness Q37e and Q37ce have 20 discrete levels of resistance.  Level 1 
is the easiest and level 20 is the most difficult.  The Manual program and Quick 
Start give the user the ability to totally control the resistance level. Custom 
Interval allows the user to select the resistance level for individual intervals.

 

program level 

 The Octane Fitness Random and Goal programs using the “Hills” profile enable 
the user to select an overall resistance level for the program. This level is the 
average resistance level for the workout.  The resistance levels achieved during 
these workouts are plus (+) or minus (-) 4 of the entered program level (i.e. If the 
selected program level = 5, minimum resistance = 1, and maximum resistance 
level = 9. During the workout, the resistance level is displayed. If the Level is 
changed during the workout, the program level is also changed.

 

resistance in Heart rate 

Controlled programs 

 

Fat Burn, Cardio, and Custom Heart Rate Interval control the resistance level 
throughout the warm-up and the program, based on the user’s entered age and 
theoretical  maximum  heart  rate  (TMHR).  The  resistance  level  increases  and 
decreases dependent on the user’s heart rate.
