HEART RATE

No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by

training at the right level of effort, and the best measure

is your own heart rate.

HEART RATE MEASUREMENT WITH HANDGRIP

SENSORS

Heart rate is measured from the hands using the sensors

located on the handlebars. The sensors measure electric

impulses, which are formed when a person’s heart beats.

Measurement is started by touching both handlebar

sensors simultaneously. To ensure reliable heart rate

measurement, skin must be slightly moist and skin

contact with sensors must be continuous. If skin is too

dry or too wet, the heart rate measurement operation

from the hands is less reliable. Try to keep your upper

body and palms relaxed and still.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

The most reliable heart rate measurement is achieved

with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of

the transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the

pulses from the heart to the console by means of an

electromagnetic field.

NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult

a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way

during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes

on the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten

the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic

belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in

contact with the skin while exercising, but not so tight

that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the

transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt

slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the

shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart

rate reading to the console up to a distance of about 1

m.

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-rate

reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes

are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the

electrodes warm up properly to ensure accurate heart

rate measurement. If there are several telemetric

heart rate measurement devices next to each other,

the distance between them should be at least 1.5 m.

Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several

transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter

should be within transmission range. The transmitter is

switched to an active state only when it is being used for

measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however,

keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery

energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes

carefully after use.

When selecting training attire, please note that some

fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create

static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart

rate measurement. Please note that a mobile phone,

television and other electrical appliances form an

electromagnetic field around them, which will cause

problems in heart rate measurement.

First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate

doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know

your maximum heart rate, please use the following

formula as a guide:

220 - AGE

These are average values and the maximum varies from

person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes

on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk

group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart

rate for you.

We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help

you with targeted training.

BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents

and those who haven’t exercised for a long time.

Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is

recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves

beginners’ respiratory and circulatory performance and

you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even

reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively,

training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three

times a week. To improve your condition still further,

increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the

same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and

presupposes long-endurance workouts.
