If you do not grab the hand pulse sensors correctly with your hands and it does not receive a heart rate, the HR display will turn o after a few seconds. As soon as your hands grab the sensors again correctly, the heart rate will be displayed again.

Watt Indicates Watt in the range from 0 - 999 Watts.

Level Indicates the resistance level between 1 - 16.

Speed Indicates the speed between 0.0 - 99.9 km/h.

Time

Ascending: If no target value is set, the time will run ascending from 0:00 to 99:59 minutes.

Distance Indicates the distance covered between 0.0 - 99.9 km.

RPM Indicates the rotations per minute between 0 - 255.

Calories Indicates the calories burnt between 0 – 9999.

METS

Denition: MET or metabolic equivalent is used to measure the average metabolic rate for a person. MET describes the quantity of oxygen that an average person needs when in rest.

1 MET = 3.5 ml/kg/min (The body consumes 3.5 milliliters of oxygen per kilogram per minute) is the amount of oxygen that the body needs when in rest.

The more intensively the body works, the more oxygen is consumed and the higher the MET level. If you train at a level of seven METS, then you are working approximately 7 times harder than when in rest. Furthermore, you need 7 times as much oxygen than when in rest. + Training between three to six METs is seen as moderate physical activity. + Training at more than six METs is seen as strong physical activity.

5 WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 Heart rate measuring

Pulse measuring through hand sensors

The hand sensors integrated in the handles allow you to determine your heart rate. You can measure your heart rate by lightly grasping the sensors with both hands at the same time. Blood pressure changes occur due to the heartbeat. The sensors measure the changes to the electric skin resistance caused by it. These values are then used to create an average and are displayed on the screen of the console as a heart rate.

Note:

For some people, the skin resistance change caused by the heart rate is so minimal that the measurements do not allow for usable values. Strong callus or sweat on the hands may also impair a correct measurement. In such cases, the heart rate will not be shown at all or only incorrectly.

If the measurement is incorrect or not taken at all, please check if it happens to only one person or to several people. If the pulse display only does not work in a single case, the equipment is not defective. In this case, we recommend using a chest strap to achieve a permanently correct heart rate display.

CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Dierent factors may inuence 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.

UB10.5Pro

Note:

If you have not been active in doing sports for a longer period of time, you should rst 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 eective 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 tness 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.

Example:

For a 45-year-old man or woman, the maximum heart rate is 175 (220 - 45 = 175).

• The fat burning target zone (55%) is at approximately 96 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.55.

• The cardio target zone (75%) is at approximately 131 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.75.

• The maximum heart rate for an anaerobic load training (90%) is at approximately 157 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.9.

5.2 10 tips for eective ergometer training

1. Set goals

What would you like to achieve with your training? Weight regulation, improved stamina, prevent risk of disease, more mobility, cardiovascular training, etc. In order to achieve your long-term training goal, set individual partial goals, e. g., weekly or monthly goals.

2. Concentration on training

Try to only dedicate yourself to your training session and do not be distracted.

3. Position yourself correctly while exercising

As you pedal, your upper body should be shifted slightly forward and your back held straight. Avoid side-to-side motion in the hips and back.

4. Correct breathing / appropriate resistance level

Do not overexert yourself physically and mentally by starting with resistance levels that are too high. Start slowly and increase the resistance steadily. Aim for regular and calm breathing.

5. Keep yourself properly hydrated

Drink, drink, drink! Have a drinking bottle close by during your workout.

6. Sucient recovery periods

Allow your body and your muscles enough time to recover after your workout. Only a relaxed muscle will be fully operational again.

7. Choose a diversied program

Switch your focus between dierent muscle groups and dierent levels of intensity during your workout.

8. Creating the right workout

Every training session should have a warm-up phase, a cool-down phase and a targeted stretching. It increases physical and mental performance and prevents injuries and sore muscles.

9. Workout journal

Keep a record of your training sessions. Note the date, resting pulse, active pulse, recovery pulse, resistance level, time, distance, calories burnt and tness level.

10. Reward yourself

Do something good for you and your body after training or after achieving a partial goal. Go to the sauna or a swimming pool. Mix a protein shake or enjoy a delicious salad.

5.3 Designing a workout

We recommend two or three workouts per week. Warm up for about ve minutes before starting each workout. Finish the workout with a cool-down and targeted stretching.

Warm-up approx. ve min. Dynamic movement of large muscle groups at a low intensity. Core body temperature increases and the metabolic process is speeded up.
