4.3 SELECTING AND MONITORING THE TARGET PULSE
The pulse rate in BPM ('Beats per Minute') indicates very well if you are training according to your
target and your current personal fitness level. The BPMs for the targets depend not at least on the age.
You should monitor your pulse in a suitable way.
Many Sportstech devices show the pulse range that you are currently in not only as a numeric
value, but also by means of colours - based on the maximum heart rate ('MHR') typical for your age.
Always adhere to the following notes:
Select a guide value for your target pulse as follows:
•
Select your age in the graphic on the right. Below, your age-typical maximum pulse (MHR) is shown as
an estimated value.
Rule of thumb:
MHR = 220 – [Age]
Example: 47 years: MHR = 220 – 47
= 173 BPM
The
Selection graph
allows
to determine a
Target pulse
range.
•
From your age value, go
up into the colour field
which corresponds to your
training target.
•
Then go straight to the left
and read the target pulse
from the scale.

In any case:
•
Check if the determined target pulse suits your
needs
. If not, re-adjust it until you've found your
individual optimum value.
•
During training, the
LED colour
shows in real-time, in which percentage of the age-typical maximum
pulse (MHR) you are currently cycling. The LED colours correspond with the above diagrams.
WARNING! Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result
in serious injury or death. If you feel faint stop exercising immediately.
•
Prevent overexertion! Always respect individual general and daily fitness! Pay attention
to physical signals!
•
The training target ranges are only average guidelines that must be adapted to the individual
constitution. Medically well-founded support is recommended here!
4.4 FITNESS CHECK („PULSE RECOVERY“)
Use the „Pulse Recovery“ button to determine your current fitness:
•
Do a workout, but don‘t overexert yourself! Make sure that your pulse is measured either by the
sensors on the sensor bracket or by a connected Bluetooth device.
•
Press this button directly at the end of the workout and start to relax: Your pulse drops and the
computer measures this. A sharp decline indicates good fitness.
The computer evaluates your current fitness between F1 and F6 according to the following table.
However, these are only estimates.
