4.
Confirm your selection by pressing the
selection dial.
A) Replay = start pedaling to begin the
exercise. You can adjust the effort level with
the selection dial.
B) Edit = select the duration of the exercise
with the selection dial (set the time to 10-180
minutes). Start pedaling to begin the exercise.
You can adjust the effort level with the
selection dial.
C) Race = Using the selection dial, select
the race mode (time: the distance you can
pedal in a given time; or distance: how fast
you can cover a given distance) and confirm
your selection using the selection dial. The
display shows a previously saved program.
Start pedalling to begin the race. The dash line
on the display shows whether you are ahead
or behind the benchmark training session,
which is the most recently saved training
session using this program. The distance to
the previously saved session is also displayed:
the previously saved training session is shown
with a light blue vertical dash line, and your
race effort is shown with a black vertical dash
line.
5. To stop the training session, press the BACK/
STOP button. You can then stop the session by
selecting EXIT, save the session to the memory
by selecting SAVE AND EXIT or continue your
training session by selecting CONTINUE.
FITNESS TEST
The meter uses a multi-step fitness test. The test
begins at a low level of effort, which increases
steadily in accordance with the selected test
type. A multi-step test is a safe and reliable,
submaximal means of measuring a person’s
physical fitness level. The test continues until the
test subject has achieved his or her individual
target heart rate (85% of maximum heart rate).
The test requires the use of a heart rate belt:
the meter monitors changes in the heart rate
throughout the test, using the data to calculate
an estimate of the tested person’s maximum
oxygen uptake capacity. The maximum oxygen
uptake capacity is the best measure of a
person’s physical fitness level. After the test,
the meter gives versatile information on your
fitness level: a description and a numerical value
(ml/kg/min).
pREpARING FOR THE TEST
1.
Make sure that the data associated with your
username is updated – the meter uses the user
data as a basis for the fitness test.
2.
Select FITNESS TEST.
3. Using the selection dial, select the most
suitable fitness category for you:
A) Inactive = no regular exercise, poor physical
condition
B) Active = regular exercise, average or good
physical condition
C)
Athletic = active training, good or excellent
physical condition
4. The display shows the appropriate test type for
each fitness category:
A) Step time = duration of different effort levels
in the test
B)
First step = initial effort level
C) Step power = effort level of steps (in watts),
the test features several steps
5. Confirm your selection by pressing the
selection dial.
6. If necessary, you can adjust your target heart
rate value using the selection dial. Confirm your
settings using the selection dial.
7. The display informs you that you can stop the
test once you reach the target heart rate for the
test. Start the test by pressing the selection dial.
pERFORMING THE TEST
1. The display shows the selected test step
type. Start pedaling to begin the test. A red
diagram that updates as you progress in the test
represents your heart rate. A discontinuous line
in red indicates your target heart rate.
2. Once the target heart rate level has been
achieved, the meter gives an audio signal and
displays a message. We recommend that you
end the test here, unless you are relatively fit.
If you have set your target heart rate correctly
(that is, if you have calculated your maximum
heart rate accurately enough), continuing the
test beyond this point will not increase the
accuracy of the result. If you overestimate your
maximum heart rate, your fitness level will be
overestimated. Similarly, if you underestimate
your maximum heart rate, your fitness level will
be underestimated.
3. To stop the test once you reach the target
heart rate level, press the BACK/STOP button or
stop pedaling. The meter will now switch to the
test result display:
A) Aerobic fitness = an estimate of your fitness
level in your regular effort zone, which gives
the best indication of the state of your health-
related fitness.
B)
MET value = a reading that shows the
multiple of your maximum oxygen uptake at
complete rest.
C)
ml/kg/min = a reading that tells how many
millilitres of oxygen per kilogram of body
weight per minute your body consumes.
D)
l/min = a reading that tells your oxygen
uptake in litres per minute. Unlike the above
values, l/min does not take account of the
user’s body weight.
E) Wmax = an estimate of your maximal
exercise power, measured in watts.
F)
W/kg = the ratio of your maximal exercise
power to your weight.
