HEART RATE CONTROL.-
It is advisable to do a brief warm-up session before using this program. This will prevent possible injuries.
This program allows you to select a heart rate (between 60% and 95% of the maximum heart rate) and the
machine will automatically adjust exertion levels to ensure that the user maintains the selected heart rate
value. Use of heart rate measurement using the hand-grip sensors or the telemetric chest band is necessary.
The maximum number of heartbeats that a person must never exceed is referred to as the maximum heart
rate and this value drops with age. A simple formula to calculate this value is to subtract your age, in years,
from 220. To ensure that you are exercising correctly try to keep between 65% and 85% of your maximum
heart rate value, it is not advisable to go above 85%.
The HRC is made up of 4 programs: three which have a preset percentage (65%, 75% and 85%) plus a
fourth (THR) which allows the user to choose the BPM they want within a range of between 60-95%.
