4.5 Heart rate measuring
CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Different factors may influence the
accuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only serves as a training aid.
Telemetric heart rate measuring
This ergometer is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a chest strap makes
it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring. This optimal and ECG-precise type of
measuring reads the heart rate directly from the skin through a transmitting chest strap. The chest
strap then sends the impulse to the receiver integrated in the console.
Positioning the chest strap and moistening the electrodes:
Place the belt directly below the chest, while the transmitter should be placed on the middle of the
chest. The chest strap should sit comfortably, but not too loose. If the belt is too loose, the contact
to the electrodes may be disrupted or the belt may slip while exercising. The transmitter turns on
automatically once it is put on. In order to allow for a precise measuring, you should moisten the
rubber electrodes. This is best done with a special chest strap contact gel, which is also used for
ultrasound scans.
Note:
If you have not been active in doing sports for a longer period of time, you should first go to your
physician in order to discuss your training with them. You should also contact your physician in
advance in the event of heart problems, high/low blood pressure and obesity.
Training with heart rate orientation
Heart rate orientation guarantees an extremely effective and healthy training. Through your age
and the following table, you can quickly and easily read and determine the optimal pulse for your
training. An alarm will sound if your heart rate exceeds the set target heart rate. Which target heart
rate is important for which training goal can be found out in the following.
Fat burning (weight management): The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In order to
achieve this training goal, a low training intensity (approximately 55% of the maximum heart rate)
and a longer training period are required.
Cardiovascular training (cardio training): The primary goal is to increase stamina and fitness
through an improved provision of oxygen through the cardiovascular system. In order to achieve
this training goal, medium intensity (approximately 75% of the maximum heart rate) with a medium
training period is required.
Anaerobic (maximum) load training: The main goal of maximum load training is to improve
recovery after short, intense loads in order to be able to quickly return to the aerobic zone. In order
to achieve this training goal, a high intensity (approximately 90% of the maximum heart rate) with
short, intense load is required, which is followed by a recovery phase in order to prevent muscle
fatigue.
