The 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle is in bicycle mode during a solo race; use the
arrow keys to choose the level that gives you maximum speed for your effort.
After a short countdown, your workout begins. The Workout Graph shows two rows of dots:
the top row is your progress, the bottom row is the pacer. Your goal distance is at the right
side of the display. The level readout shows the distance to the pacer. If you're ahead, the
distance has a plus sign; if you're behind, it shows a minus sign. The rest of the display is as
described in "The Workout Display" in Chapter 3.
Fitness Test
The 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle offers a twelve-minute fitness test based on the
YMCA protocol. You can take this test only on a 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle with
a heart rate monitor. It works this way:
In exercise mode, the 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle starts at a low setting and
increases the power required each three minutes. It measures your heart rate periodically
during the test. After the test, 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle calculates and displays
your fitness score. The score is an estimate of your VO2 Max; it measures the rate at which
you can supply oxygen to your cells. The table at the end of this section will help you interpret
your score.
Your score will be an accurate measure of your condition only if your heart rate
is at its resting level when you begin.
To start the fitness test:
1. Get on your 700 series cycle and start pedaling to activate the console.
2. Press the
Advanced Options
key. If you press a key somewhere else on the
console, an arrow will point toward the program keys, instructing you to select one.
Press
Advanced Options
until the top display reads "Fitness Test." Press
Enter
.
3. The 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle asks for your age. Type it or use the arrow
keys to raise or lower the age shown. Press
Enter
.
This starts the test. You cannot change the speed setting during the test.
NOTE:
You must
maintain a pedaling rate of 64 rpm or higher during the test.
The display is the same as
described in "The Workout Display" in Chapter 3.
At the end of the test, the 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle displays your estimate
VO2 Max, as described above. Use this table to interpret your score:
