HEART RATE CONTROL.-
It is highly recommended that a short warm up program be completed prior to beginning the Heart Rate
Control program. This will prevent possible injury.
This program allows the user to workout to a target heart rate (between 65% and 85% of maximum heart
rate) by the machine adjusting the resistance level to achieve that targeted heart rate level at all times. Heart
Rate measurement is required during this workout, either by using hand sensors (hand-grip) or an optional
telemetric pulse of chest band. (Please Note: Heart Rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate and should
be used as guidelines only. Over-exercising may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop
exercising immediately.)
The heart rate that a person should never exceed is called maximum rate and this decreases with age. A
simple formula to calculate is 220 beats per minutes minus the User’s Age (220-age). The target should be
kept between 65% and 85% of maximum heart rate and it is recommended not to exceed 85%.
There are four programs within Heart Rate Control: three that come with a predefined percentage (65%, 75%
and 85%) and the fourth Target Heart Rate (THR) that allows the user to choose the BPM you want within
the range of 65% - 85%.

From Screen 1, press the Heart Rate
Control button and you will then see
Screen 14. Fill in the required fields for
the test and choose the heart rate you
wish to target. After doing this, press
the Green Arrow key to begin the
workout. When
the program
is
underway you can vary the parameter
levels with the +/- keys. It is also necessary to keep your hands in the hand-grip to monitor heart rate or to
use an optional telemetric wireless chest strap
.

Once the workout has been completed or the
Stop
key is pressed, you will
see Screen 15, which shows a summary of the workout.
Press the
previous
button or wait a 2 minutes to return to Screen 1.
PHYSICAL TEST.-
The Physical Test is a fitness test based upon VO2 MAX. VO2 Max, or maximal oxygen uptake, is one
factor that can determine an athlete's capability to perform an endurance based workout.

From Screen 1, press the
PHYSICAL
TEST
button and you will next see
screen 16. Set the parameters using
the numbers at the bottom of the
screen then click the
to confirm.
Once everything is set, press the
Green Arrow key to begin the
exercise. When the workout is underway you can vary the parameter levels using the +/- keys.
