Top 600 XT PRO

Top 600 is an innovative equipment that is part of the Technogym XT PRO line. These
equipments have been conceived to offer cardiovascular workouts that combine perfect
biomechanical equilibrium, functionality, and design. XT PRO line equipments feature the
exclusive CHR system, which has been conceived by Technogym to let the user maintain the
desired heart rate throughout the entire workout. As a result, safe and effective exercise is
ensured, regardless of the user’s relative level of fitness.

Top 600 is perfectly integrated into the XT PRO line, featuring the same basic functions and
operating procedures. These include manual mode exercise, where the effort level and
duration of the workout are personally selected; predefined profiles; and the test, to determine
the optimum personal level of effort for training.

With Top 600, all main muscles in the shoulders, arms, and trunk (muscles of the scapular­humeral cingulum, brachial triceps, brachial biceps, deltoid, trapezius, dorsals) are called
into action, offering excellent cardiovascular exercise even to those individuals who are in
poor shape.

Thus, thanks to its simplicity and safety, Top 600 is appropriate for use by a wide variety of
persons, from professional athletes to those undergoing rehabilitation, in addition to sedentary
types, seniors, and people suffering from heart disease.

Finally, the easy to reach and use control panel simplifies reading workout data, which are
continually updated, and progressive adjustment of the training level to one’s own physical
condition and athletic preparation. Personalized exercise programs can be saved on the
equipment memory, or the user can select a predefined profile. A last alternative is to exercise
freely, modifying the workout parameters at any time.

correctly on the equipment, watching out for
components that could hamper you and make
you slip or fall.

WARNING

Check the tightness of the seat
knobs.

While exercising do not place your feet
beneath the moving parts.

While exercising keep your hands away from
the moving parts.

33

Do not place beverages or liquids on or near
the equipment.

Keep your clothing and towels away from
the equipment so they don’t interfere with its
moving parts.

Do not use the equipment near inflammable
liquids or gas to avoid the risk of a fire being
started by flying sparks.

Do not expose the equipment to spraying or
spurting water.

Do not leave the equipment outdoors
exposed to the elements (rain, sun, etc.).

The equipment must not be located near
heat sources, electromagnetic sources (such
as TVs, electrical motors, antennas, etc.),
medical equipment, laser devices, electro­stimulators, etc.

XT PRO line equipments are primarily
intended for use at athletic clubs, gyms, and
similar organizations in entirely indoor
locations.

01327005

DANGER

There is high voltage inside the
equipment, so the cover must be
removed only by authorized
personnel.

Use by children under the age of 14 is
prohibited unless they are directly supervised
by an adult.

The equipment has been designed and built
in conformity with safety and health
requirements. Nevertheless, some parts of
the equipments may pose risks that are not
obvious. Therefore, pay special attention to
any potential hazards of crushing your upper
or lower limbs.

2.2 Monitoring heart rate

The condition of your heart and
cardiovascular system are fundamental to
physical fitness. The more often you can
check your heart rate the more effective your
workout will be.

Monitoring heartbeat is important for both
athletes and amateurs because it enables
them to program workouts better. Top 600
XT PRO let every user monitor heart rate
precisely with the chest band containing the
heart rate transmitter, which you wear
wrapped around your thorax.

TOP 600 XT PRO

The heart rate transmitter incorporated in the
chest band sends the equipment heart rate
signals; these signals are processed and
shown on the display so the user can
continuously monitor his or her heart rate.

This constant monitoring of the heart rate
makes the chest band useful tool for
improving workout effectiveness and safety,
and we thus highly recommend their use.

DANGER

During a workout, your heart rate
must never be more than 85% of its
maximum (unless you’re a trained
competitive athlete).
To calculate the percentage, use the
table in paragraph 2.5.2.

2.2 MONITORING HEART RATE

If the heart rate detection device is of the
coded type (refer to the optional accessories,
in paragraph 1.2.3), the data generated by
the chest band is transmitted in

coded

form,
that is, by a specific chest band to be used
with that specific equipment and not any
other. As a result, interference with nearby
equipments is avoided and a more precise
measurement of the heart rate is obtained.

WARNING

The only function of the heart rate
monitor is to show heart rate during
exercise and excludes any diagnostic
use of a medical nature; it is not for
detection of heart anomalies or
problems. The heart rate shown on the
display is only indicative and cannot
be considered absolutely certain.

2.2.1 How to put on the chest band

Before putting the chest band on moisten it
on the inside.

It is worn in direct contact with the skin, on
the lower pectoral area.

Regulate the tightness of the elastic around
the chest so that the band stays firmly in
place throughout the workout, and check
signal reception on the control panel (the
heart-shaped light on the display should be
blinking).

TOP 600 XT PRO

60

WARNING

The chest band’s battery has a life of
about 1000 hours. After this time it is
advisable to replace the chest band
with another original one supplied by
Technogym.

2.2.2 Correct use of chest band

To guarantee the accuracy of reported data,
the chest band must be used correctly,
heeding precautions and giving it the care
due a precision instrument.

? INFORMATION

For the sake of hygiene, Technogym
recommends that chest band use be
strictly personal.

In case of irritation the chest band
can be worn over a T-shirt so long as
the contact zone is moistened.

Periodically, and especially if the band falls,
you should check how the heart rate
transmitter is working, as follows: take a
pulse count on your wrist and compare the
beats with the frequency shown on the
display panel.

01417004

Should you have any doubts about the
correctness of the display data, contact the
Technogym Technical Support Service.

2.2 MONITORING HEART RATE

We recommend keeping the transmitter out
of hot rooms and direct sunlight and far from
heat sources.

Pulse count is faulty when there are sources
of electromagnetic radiation present (TV,
cellular phones, etc.).

If you want to wash the chest band, use a
water-and-soap solution and then let it dry
for a few hours in a warm, dry place, far from
direct sources of heat (see section

maintenance

).

Routine

Take care not to stretch or bend the rubber:
bad maintenance can cause the electrodes
to lose their conductivity.

37

Only one transmitter should be within the
receiver’s reception range, otherwise the
receiver could get several signals at the
same time and make errors in visualizing
heart rate. If there are several equipments
with heart rate receivers in the same area,
the recommended minimum distance
between them is 80 cm.

These problems do not arise if the equipment
is equipped with the Personal Code Device,
a system that allows the equipment to
harmonize solely with the heart rate of the
user (see section

Optional accessory

).

2.3 User adjustments

❒❒

❒ Adjusting the seat

❒❒

To adjust the seat, pull the knob placed in
front of the seat itself.
Once seated, your heart must be at the same
level as the fulcrum of the lever rotation.

A graduated scale is printed on the seat pillar.
Once you find the right position for yourself,
we recommend that you record this number
on your training chart.

2.4 ERGONOMIC POSITION ON EQUIPMENT

2.3.1 Use with wheelchair

So that the equipment can also be used by
disabled persons, Technogym has designed
the frame to accommodate a wheelchair:
unscrew the 3 knobs locking the seat to the
frame and remove the seat.

This operation must be carried out by the
staff of the club.

Move the wheel chair into position in place
of the seat and block it with the special
restraints.

39

The user may now exercise independently.

At the end of the exercise, reinstate the
normal conditions and ensure that the three
knobs are securely locked down.

2.4 Ergonomic position on equipment

Place your feet on the special footrests or on
the ground and then grasp the handgrips.

Any other position may be potentially
unstable and lead to a loss of balance.

2.5 Medical and athletic information and advice

2.5.1 The importance and benefits of physical exercise

TOP 600 XT PRO

Sedentary living and bad eating habits
steadily debilitate our physical abilities and
lead to increased body weight. The role
played by exercise in preventing major
diseases has been known for some time, as
has the fact that sedentariness is a prime
cause of ill health - in fact it has been
recognized and labeled as an actual illness:
hypokinesia.

Exercising regularly and practicing the right
habits (a balanced diet, moderate alcohol
intake, no smoking) are essential to
achieving and maintaining physical and
mental well-being and preventing most of
the pathologies afflicting industrialized
society (cardiovascular diseases, obesity
and muscle and bone diseases).

The basic components of physical exercise
are:

contractions, while at the same time
stimulating your heart and respiratory and
circulatory systems. Other types of aerobic
exercise are swimming, cross-country skiing,
cycling and rowing.

The main benefits of doing the right kind of
exercise regularly can be summed up as:

A greater feeling of physical well-being
and agility, with positive impact on mood
and self-esteem.

Improved capacity to sustain physical
effort, even routine ones like climbing the
stairs at home or office, without getting
tired.

A change in body composition, with a
lower percentage of body fat and a higher
amount of muscle tissue.

- cardiovascular (or aerobic) exercise,

- strengthening or toning muscles,

- stretching (see section 2.5.3);

any self-respecting program should include
all three components, in different proportions
depending on the goal you want to achieve.

The XT PRO line of equipments let you do
cardiovascular (or aerobic) workouts, that is,
exercise large masses of muscles (legs, arms
and torso) through continual, rhythmic

Burning more calories during the day,
which is important for keeping weight
stable or losing it.

Regulating blood pressure, thanks to
better-toned blood vessel walls.

Changes in lipid composition, with fewer
triglycerides and less cholestorol,
lessening the possibility of
atherosclerosis.

2.5 MEDICAL AND ATHLETIC INFORMATION AND ADVICE

41

Exercising regularly has a positive effect on
blood pressure, on the amount of cholesterol
in the blood, on heart and blood vessel
functioning, on the capacity to burn fats and
carbohydrates. In thus reducing the risk of
heart disease, it contributes to a better and
longer life.

To benefit from aerobic exercise, you must
do it regularly, at moderate intensity and
for an adequately long time (at least 20
minutes).

Specifically, aerobic exercise should be
done 3 to 5 times a week, 20 to 50 minutes
per session at an intensity between 60 and
80% of your theoretical maximum HR (see
section 2.5.2).

Workloads should be increased gradually,
whenever you manage to finish the workout
without overtiring yourself.

WARNING

Do not overdo it, especially at the
start, because overly strenuous
workouts can be harmful.

2.5.2 How to choose aerobic workout intensity

Being fit means having frequently subjected
your body to enough heavy stimulus to
provoke changes in your organs and your
body’s systems.

To improve aerobic capacity, it is important
to keep your heart rate between 60 and 80%
of the maximum while exercising. In fact,
exercising too lightly is not enough of a
stimulus, while exercising too intensely

produces large amounts of lactic acid whose
accumulation overtires your muscles and
makes you stop exercising.

The following table shows the optimal pulse
rate levels in relation to age and the goal
being pursued. Theoretical maximum heart
rate (100%) is calculated on the basis of age
using the formula: 220 - age.

42

between 70% and 85%)

Aerobic zone primarily using fats as an energy source (keep heart rate between
60% and 70%)

Zone of little training interest

grafico per FC

To read the graph just find your age on the horizontal axis and scan up the vertical until you
reach amounts corresponding to 60%, 70%, 85%.

Aerobic exercise performed at a heart rate between 60% and 70% mainly burns fats as an
energy source.

When doing aerobics at a heart rate of 70% to 85% the cardio circulatory component prevails.

For example, if someone 30 years old wants to burn off fat, the heart rate during exercise
should be kept between 114 (60%) and 133 (70%); if he or she wants to improve cardio­respiratory capacity, the heart rate should be kept between 133 (70%) and 161 (85%).

In any case it is advisable not to exceed 85% of maximum heart rate (for example, at age
40, 85% of maximum heart rate is 153).

2.5 MEDICAL AND ATHLETIC INFORMATION AND ADVICE

2.5.3 Stretching exercises

Stretching exercises are not an optional but
an integral part of a physical exercise
program. Muscle and skeletal flexibility are
important to your health. In a standing
position our body structure is kept in balance
by “tie rods” composed of an active muscular
part and a passive connective one.

Systematically checking flexibility is very
important both for the sedentary person
(because it keeps connective tissue from
shortening due to inactivity) and for the
athlete, because good limb mobility
increases performance and makes you less
prone to injury.

43

It’s a good idea to do stretching exercises
before and after a workout. The warm-up
stage should include several minutes of low­intensity aerobics like walking or pedaling
followed by suitable exercises that stretch
the muscles you use in walking/running (the
calf and thigh muscles) so they are “warmed
up” to prevent injuries. At the end of the
workout you should spend some time
stretching in order to recoup and get rid of
the toxins you’ve produced, to keep the
muscles you’ve used from shortening, and
to relax.

The easiest technique, especially when
you’re alone, is called the Anderson or “static
stretching” technique, which has to be done
without brusque, quick or violent
movements.

61

44

We advise dividing the exercise into two
parts:

TOP 600 XT PRO

first stage

: get comfortably into the correct
position shown in the illustration, hold the
stretch for ten seconds and relax;

second stage

: after relaxing, stretch a few
more inches and hold that position for 10 to
30 seconds.

and the test will end.

After the warm-up, the test proceeds to effort
level 2. The effort level is gradually increased
until the user’s heart rate reaches 70% of
the maximum HR (see section 2.5.2).

The profile columns on the display are turned
off. The index corresponding to the effort level

and the indicator light for the TEST function
are lit.

At any time you can:

- interrupt the test with the STOP key; the

test itself is then invalidated;

- adjust the effort level.

At the end of the TEST, you will hear a beep
and the equipment will start a cooling down
period lasting 30 seconds. The display will
show the ideal effort level for the specific
user:

This function lets you exercise with one of the profiles preloaded on the equipment’s memory.
It is extremely useful when you perform circuit workouts, where the interval between one
exercise and another must be kept brief.

What characterizes workouts with the predefined profile is that you can choose one of the
profiles shown by the columns on the display: the height of the columns indicates the variation
in effort level throughout the workout.

There are 6 available profiles, as illustrated below:

Profile 1

Profile 2

Profile 3

Profile 4

Profile 5

Profile 6

the end of the workout:

61

P.I. = 6

3.8 Exercising at a constant heart rate (CHR)

This function lets you perform variable training programs with constant adjustments to the
effort level according to the defined heart rate: the device automatically adjusts the workout
parameters so that the heart rate is brought to the selected value and then kept there for the
duration of the workout.
The CHR system is thus a useful tool for programming specific workouts.

Exercising at a constant heart rate is highly important in all those situations where, for safety
reasons, specific heart rate levels must not be exceeded (e.g. persons with heart disease
and seniors). It is also important in weight loss aerobic training programs, where the heart
rate must remain below 70% of the maximum value (see section 2.5.2).

During this workout, you must use the heart rate meter (chest band).

With the equipment
in Standby,

The index corresponding to the effort level
and the indicator light for the CHR function
are lit.

At any time, you can:

- interrupt the workout for a pause with the
STOP or CLEAR key;

- end the workout by pressing the STOP
key twice.

If you pause after pressing STOP or CLEAR,
and then press the QUICK START key, the
workout resumes. If you press STOP again,
the workout ends and the equipment returns

(P.I. see section 3.10) value:

P.I. = 6

If they have been enabled during
configuration (see section 3.2), during the
workout:

- the (+) and (–) keys let you vary (in steps
of one) the value of the target heart rate;

- the ENTER key lets you increase the
remaining workout time in increments of
1 minute for each time you press the key.

you may now insert the Smartkey* to save
the results.

3.9 EXERCISING WITH THE SMARTKEY*

3.9 Exercising with the Smartkey*

The Smartkey* is especially useful when
you are doing circuit exercises consisting of
identical workout sequences.
The Wellness Trainer eliminates the need to
enter personal data and exercise
parameters each time, since it memorizes
them. To start the exercise just slip the
Smartkey* into its slot; the display will first
show the user’s name, then the type of
planned exercise with associated
parameters.

63

014170016

For example, if a CHR type workout is
planned, when you insert the Smartkey*, this
message appears:

H.R. = 138

where H.R. = 138 indicates the value (138)
of the constant heart rate (H.R.) which must
be maintained during the exercise.

If you perform a workout at constant power,
this message appears:

WATT = 110

Afterwards, the equipment behaves exactly
as if the workout had been selected and set
from the control panel.

At the end of the workout, if other exercises
are not planned on the workout chart saved
on the Smartkey*, the following message
appears:

END OF WORKOUT

However, if other exercises are planned, the
display shows this message:

NEXT: CARDIO

At this point it is possible to remove the
Smartkey*, as indicated on the display:

REMOVE SMARTKEY

64

3.10 Performance Index (P.I.)

Technogym created the performance index
to provide a concise evaluation of the
finished workout in a form that can be easily
compared with others.

To have your performance index for any
workout shown on the display, all you have
to do is use the heart rate meter (chest band)
for at least three minutes.

TOP 600 XT PRO

P.I. = 56

The index is based on a rating of 0 to 99.
The better your performance, the higher your
aerobic capacity.

An increase in your performance index
means that, heart rate being equal, you are
able to exercise harder.

The criteria used to rate performance make
it possible to compare tests taken by people
of different ages. In any case, it is better to
compare the results of different tests taken
by the same person - or different people ­working out at the same intensity for the same
amount of time.

P.I. amount Rating

Up to 10 Poor

From11 to 20 Fair

From 21 to 30 Good

From 31to 40 Very good

01327004

2.1 RECOMMANDATIONS POUR L’UTILISATION CORRECTE DE L’APPAREIL

Au début de chaque exercice, se placer
correctement sur l’appareil, en faisant bien
attention aux éléments qui peuvent
représenter un obstacle, pour éviter de
glisser ou de tomber.

AVERTISSEMENT

Contrôler le serrage des poignées du
siège.

Ne pas enfiler les pieds sous les parties en
mouvement pendant l’exercice.

Tenir les mains éloignées des parties en
mouvement pendant l’exercice.

97

Ne pas poser de boissons ou de liquides
sur l’appareil ou à proximité.

Eloigner des appareils vêtements et
serviettes qui pourraient entrer en contact
avec ses parties mobiles.

Ne pas utiliser l’appareil à proximité de
liquides ou de gaz inflammables pour éviter
les risques d’incendie que pourraient
provoquer les étincelles.

Ne pas exposer l’appareil à des jets d’eau.
Ne pas laisser l’appareil à l’extérieur, exposé

aux agents atmosphériques (pluie, soleil,
etc.)

L’appareil ne doit pas être placé près de
sources de chaleur, près de sources
électromagnétiques (comme les appareils
de télévision, les moteurs électriques, les
antennes, etc.), près d’un appareillage
médical, de dispositifs laser,
d’électrostimulateurs, etc.

Les appareils de la ligne XT PRO sont
principalement destinés à l’activité sportive
auprès des salles de sport ou autres centres
sportifs, exclusivement dans des locaux
fermés.

01327005

ATTENTION

Le courant circule à l’intérieur du
coffre moteur, c’est pourquoi le
carter ne peut être déplacé que par
du personnel autorisé.

L’usage de l’appareil à des personnes de
moins de 14 est interdit, sauf sous la
surveillance d’un adulte.

L’appareil a été conçu et construit selon les
exigences essentielles d’hygiène et de
sécurité des personnes ; toutefois, certaines
zones de ces appareils pourraient
engendrer des risques non évidents. Il est
donc recommandé de prêter attention au
risque d’écrasement éventuel des membres
supérieurs et inférieurs.

98

2.2 La mesure de la fréquence cardiaque

Pour une excellente efficacité physique, les
conditions du système cardio-vasculaire et
du cœur sont primordiales. Un programme
d’entraînement est d’autant plus efficace
lorsque l’on peut contrôler constamment la
fréquence cardiaque.

Le contrôle direct et immédiat des battements
du cœur est important aussi bien pour des
athlètes d’élite que pour des sportifs
amateurs, parce qu’il permet de mieux
programmer les entraînements. TOP 600 XT
PRO permette à chaque utilisateur de
surveiller avec précision le rythme cardiaque
par une ceinture thoracique (palpeur
cardiaque) munie d’un émetteur.

TOP 600 XT PRO

L’émetteur intégré dans la ceinture envoie à
l’appareil les signaux correspondant au
rythme des pulsations ; ces signaux sont
traités et affichés sur le panneau de
commande ; l’utilisateur peut ainsi surveiller
la fréquence cardiaque à tout instant.

Le contrôle permanent du rythme des
pulsations par la ceinture thoracique
constitue un moyen très précieux pour
améliorer les performances et la sécurité
pendant l’entraînement, c’est pourquoi leur
utilisation est vivement conseillée.

ATTENTION

Il est très important que, durant
l’entraînement, le rythme cardiaque
ne dépasse jamais le 85% du rythme
maximum des pulsations (à moins
qu’il ne s’agisse de professionnels).
Pour calculer la valeur, utiliser le
tableau qui se trouve au point 2.5.2.

2.2 LA MESURE DE LA FRÉQUENCE CARDIAQUE

Si le dispositif de mesure de la fréquence
cardiaque est du type coded (voir parmi les
accessoires optionnels, au point 1.2.3), la
transmission des données de la ceinture
thoracique s’effectuera en mode

codifiée,

c’est-à-dire par une ceinture spécifique
exclusivement à l’appareil spécifique que
l’on est en train d’utiliser. Cela pour éviter
toute interférence entre appareils
rapprochés et une mesure plus précise du
rythme cardiaque.

AVERTISSEMENT

Le cardio-fréquencemètre a pour
seule fonction d’afficher les
battements du cœur pendant
l’exercice et il exclut toute utilisation
diagnostique à caractère médical ; il
ne sert donc pas à relever des
anomalies ou des problèmes
cardiaques. La fréquence cardiaque
indiquée sur l’écran a en effet valeur
purement indicative et elle ne doit
pas être considérée comme
définitive.

2.2.1 Comment mettre la ceinture thoracique

Avant de mettre la ceinture thoracique, il faut
en humidifier l’intérieur.

Il faut la porter directement sur la peau, dans
la région inférieure des pectoraux.

Régler la tension de l’élastique autour du
torse de manière à ce que la ceinture reste
dans la même position pendant toute la durée
de l’entraînement et vérifier sur le panneau
de commande la réception du signal (c’est­à-dire si le voyant lumineux en forme de cœur
clignote à gauche de la fonction CPR, sur le
panneau de commande).

TOP 600 XT PRO

? INFORMATIONS

AVERTISSEMENT

La batterie de la ceinture thoracique
a une durée approximative de 1000
heures. Après quoi il est vivement
conseillé de remplacer la ceinture
par une autre ceinture d’origine
fournie par Technogym.

2.2.2 Utilisation correcte de la ceinture thoracique

Pour que les données soient précises, il est
indispensable d’utiliser correctement la
ceinture, en respectant les avertissements
reportés, et d’y prendre soin tout comme
pour tout autre instrument de précision.

Pour des raisons d’hygiène,
Technogym conseille une utilisation
strictement personnelle de la
ceinture thoracique.

En cas d’irritations, il est possible de
mettre la ceinture sur un tricot, sans
oublier d’humidifier la zone de
contact.

Périodiquement, et surtout après
d’éventuelles chutes de la ceinture, il
convient de contrôler l’efficacité du cardio­fréquencemètre de la manière suivante : on
compte les pulsations directement sur le
pouls et on compare avec la fréquence qui
apparaît sur le panneau de commande.

En cas de doute sur l’exactitude des
données, s’adresser au service d’Assistance
Technique Technogym.
