Fitness Test

The Fitness Test measures the improvements of your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output (in Watts) to your heart rate. As you become more fit you will produce more power (Watts) at a given heart rate.

When the test starts, the power (Watts) slowly increases. This means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The Watts continue to increase automatically until your heart rate reaches the “Test Zone.” This zone is individually computed to be near 75 percent of your maximum heart rate. When you reach the Test Zone your machine holds the Watts steady for 3 minutes. This lets you reach a stable condition (where your heart rate becomes steady). At the end of the 3 minutes, the Console measures your heart rate and the power output (Watts). These numbers, along with information about your age and weight, are computed to produce a “Fitness Score”.

Note: Fitness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not other users.

Over time, you will output more Watts of power at a certain Heart Rate. Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement.

Cool Down / Recovery

When you complete a timed workout, you can begin a cool down / recovery session. As you continue to use the machine, the Console will count the duration of your recovery session.

Press STOP to end the recovery session and go to your workout results.

Results

When you complete or cancel a workout, the Console will show your current workout value totals and averages. After showing your results for approximately two minutes, the Console will enter Sleep Mode.

Note: To display your results longer than the standard time, push the INCREASE or DECREASE buttons.

Contact Heart Rate Sensors

Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the top and the bottom of the sensors. Hold firm, but not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.

Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now validate the heart rate. Many factors influence the ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal:

Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.

Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.

Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.

CHR detection may be limited to walking or slow jogging due to the extreme muscle artifacts and hand motion generated by a comfortable running style. If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.

Heart Rate Calculations

Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training influences the decrease in maximum heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to find this value by getting a stress test than by using an age related formula.

Your at rest heart rate is influenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, where as highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.

The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and better your cardiovascular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.

The most efficient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.

The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.

Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity.
