Data Readouts
As you exercise, the treadmill keeps track of the following data:
Distance — The total accumulated distance, in miles or kilometers, during your workout. Depending
on the defaults you’ve chosen this measurement will show in English or Metric.
Calories — The total accumulated calories burned during your workout. Your weight must be
correctly set before beginning your workout for this measurement to be most accurate.
Calories Per Hour
— Calculation of present workload’s energy exertion in Calories per Hour.
BPM (Beats Per Minute) — Your current heart rate. Heart rate will appear when a signal is
introduced. Use the hand grips for Contact Heart rate or wear a Polar® compatible heart rate chest
strap.
Time
— The total time you’ve been working out or time remaining. Display time as hours:minutes.
Pace — At your current speed, how long it would take to cover a mile (or kilometer), displayed in
minutes:seconds.
Metabolic Equivalent (METs)
— Relates to the user’s energy expenditure. A MET is a basic unit of
measurement that is used to compare relative work between individuals and activities. ‘One MET’ is
the amount of oxygen consumed at rest. For example, two METs would be twice that amount. If an
individual were working at four METs he/she would be consuming oxygen at a rate equal to four times
their resting consumption. METs can be used to compare walking on a grade with running or even to
cycling and other activities.
To review accumulated data after a program: The display automatically shows the accumulated
workout data during the Workout Review for the set review time. See the Setup chapter.
Displaying Heart Rate
In order for the Cybex 750T to display your heart rate, hold the hand grips to use Contact Heart rate
or wear a Polar® compatible heart rate chest strap.
Contact Heart Rate — Hold the hand grips on the console handrail until a heart rate is displayed,
typically less than thirty seconds. For best results, hold the hand grips lightly and ensure that your
hands contact both the front and back sensors of each grip. Hold your hands as steady as possible
as movement can cause interference on the contacts.
Factors that can interfere with the heart rate signal include:
• excessive movement
• body composition
• hydration
• too loose grip
• too tight grip
• running
• excessive dirt, powder or oil
• leaning or resting on grips
