3.9 Performance index
The performance index (PI) was invented by Technogym to give a concise and easily comparable assessment
of performance in a workout.
To have your performance index shown on the display with the other results at the end of the exercise, in any
kind of workout, simply use the heart rate monitor for at least 3 minutes.
P.I. = 10
The index is based on a rating scale ranging from 0 to 99. The higher the rating, the greater your aerobic
capacity.
If your performance index increases, this means that you are exercising more intensely without increasing
your heart rate.
The criteria used to calculate the performance index makes it possible to compare tests taken by people of
different ages. In any event, you are advised to compare the results of different tests taken by the same
person, or different people, working out at the same intensity for the same time.
