Frequently Asked Questions - ERGOMETER MX1 KETTLER

How do I start a session on the KETTLER Ergometer MX1?

Plug the device into a power outlet, then press a button on the dashboard to turn on the computer. Choose your program, enter your personal data (weight, age) if requested, then start pedaling. The display automatically tracks your session parameters in real-time.

What training programs are available on the KETTLER MX1?

The MX1 offers 14 training programs covering various levels:

• Beginner Fitness I: 25-100 W, 27 min
• Beginner Fitness II: 50-125 W, 30 min
• Advanced I: 50-150 W, 36 min
• Advanced II: 50-200 W, 38 min
• Professional I: 75-300 W, 36 min
• Includes HRC programs (heart rate control) and Warm Up / Cool Down

What is the maximum load capacity of the KETTLER MX1?

The KETTLER Ergometer MX1 supports a maximum user weight of 150 kg. Do not exceed this limit to ensure the safety and durability of the device.

How do I measure my heart rate during training?

The MX1 is compatible with two heart rate measurement systems: a clip-on ear sensor (included or optional) and a wireless Puls Set kit. Connect the accessory before starting your session. The HRC programs automatically use this data to adjust resistance.

How does the integrated fitness test work?

The fitness test automatically increases power in 25 W increments every 2 minutes, starting at 25 W. The computer analyzes your heart rate and calculates your fitness index. Be sure to enter your age and weight for reliable results.

How do I adjust the saddle height on the KETTLER MX1?

Loosen the locking knob located under the seat post, adjust the height so that your knee is slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke, then tighten the knob firmly. Proper adjustment reduces the risk of knee and back pain.

The screen does not turn on or displays incorrect values: what should I do?

First, check that the power cable is properly plugged in and that the outlet is working. If the display remains blank, turn off the device, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on. In case of incorrect values, reset the computer via the Reset button (hold for 3 seconds). If the problem persists, check the computer cable at the pedal level.

Is the KETTLER MX1 compatible with KETTLER World Tours software?

The MX1 can be connected to the KETTLER World Tours (KWT) software, but the advanced features of the software (interactive course profiles) are not usable on this model. Only basic functions (manual resistance control) remain available through the connection.

What is the difference between the KETTLER MX1 and the X3?

The main difference is the flywheel: the MX1 is equipped with a 10 kg flywheel compared to 8 kg on the X3. This heavier flywheel offers a smoother pedaling sensation closer to a real bike, which is especially appreciated during intensive training.

How do I maintain the KETTLER Ergometer MX1?

Wipe the frame and saddle with a slightly damp cloth after each session. Regularly check the belt tension (Kettler part reference 07989-800) and lubricate the pedal axles according to the manual's recommendations. Avoid storing the device in a very humid place to preserve the electronic components.

Training instructions

Sports medicine and training science make use of bicycle ergometry among others for the verification of the functionality of the heart, circulation and breathing systems.

Whether your training after several weeks has achieved the desired effects, you can find out the following:

1. You create a certain stamina performance with less heart-/ circulation performance than before
2. You maintain a certain stamina performance with the same heart-/ circulation performance over a longer period.
3. You recover quicker than before after a certain heart-/ circulation performance.

Guide values for stamina training

Maximum pulse: By maximum stress we mean the attainment of the individual maximum pulse. The maximum attainable heart frequency is dependent upon age. Here the empirical formula is applicable: the maximum heart frequency per minute corresponds to 220 pulse beats minus the age.

Example: Age 50 years >220 - 50 = 170 pulse/min.

Weight: An expanded set of criteria for the determination of the optimal training data is the weight. The target with stress is 3 for men, and with women 2.5 watts/kg body weight. Moreover, it must be taken into consideration that above the age of 30 fitness performance reduces: with men approx. 1% and with women 0.8% per year.

Example: Man; 50 years; weight 75kg

>220 - 50 = 170 pulse/min. maximum pulse
>3 watts × 75kg = 225 watts

Minus "age reduction" (20% of 225 = 45 watts)
>225 - 45 = 180 watts (Target with stress)

Stress intensity

Stress pulse: The optimal stress intensity is attained at 65 - 75% (cf. diagram) of the individual heart-/ circulation performance. Depending on the age this value varies.

Stress range

Duration of a training unit and its frequency per week:

The optimal stress range is given, if 65 - 75% of the individual heart-/ circulation performance is attained over a longer period.

General rule:

Either 10 min / training unit with daily training

Or approx. 30 min / training unit 2-3x / week

Or approx. 60min / training unit with 1-2x/ week

You should select the watt performance so that you can maintain the muscular stress over a longer period.

Higher performances (watts) should be yielded with an increased pedal frequency. A too low pedal frequency of less than 60 UPM leads to a markedly static stress of the muscles and consequently to premature fatigue.

Warm up

At the beginning of each Ergometer training unit you should do some warm up pedalling for 3-5 minutes with slowly ascending load / stress to get your heart/ circulation and muscles moving.

Cool down

Just as important is the so-called "cool down". After each training session you should continue to pedal for approx. 2-3 minutes against light resistance.

The stress for your stamina training should in principle be increased over the stress range, e.g. each day instead of 10 minutes, 20 minutes or each week instead of twice per week, train 3 times. Alongside the individual planning of your stamina training you can go back to the training programs integrated into the training computer of the Ergometer.

WARM UP

If in the performance field "POWER" the value is higher than the personal start value "HRC", then "WARM UP" commences, i.e. the performance is slowly increased. (Only with Count up and Count down)

Example:

Preseting of the personal program targets = 50 watts, higher manual setting when starting = 120 watts; WARM UP increases the performance in 3 minutes from 50 to 120 watts (value flashes); if 120 watts is attained, the POWER window displays the value without flashing. Normal pressure on "WARM UP" during flashing ends the function.

COOL DOWN

The COOL DOWN function can be selected during training in each program. It produces a proportional reduction in performance at the end of training to the "HRC" value. During the COOL DOWN phase the performance value flashes. Normal pressure on "COOL DOWN" during flashing ends the function.

CHANGE OF DISPLAY IN TRAINING

With the "PROGRAM" or "PERSON" the displays alternate in the points' field in the following sequence: Time / speed / distance / RPM / energy / pulse / (profile) / Time ...

INTERRU IN TRAINING OR END OF TRAINING

With less than 20 pedal rotations /min or by pressing "RECOVERY" the electronic system detects a training interruption. The attained training data is displayed. Speed, performance, revolutions per minute and pulse are depicted as average values with symbol. With "Plus" or "Minus" change in the current display. E.g. residual values. The training data is displayed for 4 minutes. In this period do not press any keys and do not train, switch the electronic system to the sleep mode with the room temperature indication.

Resumption of training

With the continuation of the training within 4 minutes the last values are again counted up or counted down.

RECOVERY - Function

Recovery pulse measurement

With the end of training press "RECOVERY".

The electronic system misses your pulse for 60 seconds in reverse. Press "RECOVERY", under "LO" the current pulse value is stored; under "HI" the pulse value is stored after 60 seconds. Under % the difference of both values is shown. From this a fitness note F 1.1 is ascertained.

"RECOVERY" or "RESET" interrupts the function. If no pulse is detected at the beginning or end of the time reverse, an error message appears.

$$ \frac {\text {B o d y w e i g h t} (\mathrm {k g})}{\text {B o d y h e i g h t} (\mathrm {m} ^ {2})} = \text {B o d y - m a s s - I n d e x} $$

Example: MARIO

Bodyweight 93,5 kg Bodyheight 1,92 m

$$ \frac {9 3 , 5 (\mathrm {k g})}{1 , 9 2 ^ {2} (\mathrm {m})} = 2 5, 4 $$

Standard values:

Under 18: You are underweight; weight gain is recommended, whereby good health and fitness can be improved.

18-25 You have an average weight.

26-30 You are slightly overweight and should reduce your weight, if you already have an illness; e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, disorder of the lipid metabolism

Over 30 A weight reduction is urgently advised.

The result of MARIO in our example with a BMI of 25.36 lies in the range of the recommended average weight between 18 and 25.

System sounds

Different sounds will be emitted.

e.g.: end of program, exceeding of maximum pulse or function cannot be carried out, abort warm up or cool down, end of function warm up or cool down.

Recovery

During function, the centrifugal mass will be decelerated automatically. Further training is inexpedient.

Calculation of the fitness note:

$$ \text {N o t e} = 6 - \left(\frac {1 0 \times (\mathrm {P l} - \mathrm {P 2})}{\mathrm {P l}}\right) ^ {2} $$

P1 = Stress pulse, P2 = Recovery pulse

F1 = Very good, F6 = Insufficient

Changeover time/ distance

With the programs 1 - 6 + M in the targets the profile per column can be switched from the time mode (1 minute) to the distance mode (400 m).

Profile displays in training

At the beginning the first column flashes. After this has expired, it shifts again to the right.

With profiles over 45 minutes up to the middle (column 23), then the profile shifts from right to left. If the end of the profile appears in the last column (column 45) the flashing column shifts again to the right until the end of the program.

Arrows Up/Down

If a performance cannot be attained with the RPM (e.g. 400 watts with 50 pedal rotations) the up or down arrow prompts a quicker or slower pedalling.

Notes on pulse measurement

The pulse calculation commences when the heart flashes in the display in the cycle of your pulse beat.

With the ear clip

The pulse sensor works with the infrared light and measures the changes of the translucency of your skin, which is produced by your pulse beat. Before you fix the pulse sensor onto your earlobe, rub it vigorously for about 10 times to stimulate the blood flow.

Avoid interference pulses.

Fix the ear clip carefully onto your earlobe and find the most suitable point for its removal (when the heart symbol flashes without interruption).
- Do not train directly under strong light incidence e.g. neon light, halogen light, spotlight and sunlight.
- Prevent absolutely bumping and shaking the ear sensor including the cable. Always affix the cable to your clothing by the means of the clip or even better to a headband.

With chest belt

Notes on the interface

The program "ERGO concept", art. no. 7926-000, available from your specialist dealer, enables you to control the KETTLER Ergometer using a conventional PC via this interface.

You will find notes on the further options with the interface at our Homepage www.kettler.de.

Glossary

Warm Up

Retarded performance increase at the start of training.

Cool Down

Retarded performance reduction at the end of training.

HRC performance

Under program targets adjustable performance (25-100 watts), which is adopted as a start and end performance with Warm Up / Cool Down.

Recovery

Recovery measurement at the end of training. The deviation is detected from the start and end pulse of a minute and a fitness note is ascertained from this. With the same training the improvement of this note is a measurement for the fitness increase.

Interface

9-poled SUB-D jack for data transfer with a PC.

Reset

Deletion of the display content and restarting the display.

Programs

Training options which demand manually or program-determined performances or target pulse(s).

Profiles

Change of performances or target pulses over time or distance depicted in the points' field.

Person

4 memories (P1 - P4) for the recording of personal data, program targets and training data.

Dimension

Units for the display of km/h or mph, kjoules or kcal, hours (h) and performance (watt)

Power

Current value of the mechanical (brake horsepower) performance in watts, which the Ergometer converts into thermal power.

Max power

Under personal data adjustable performance power limit of the Ergometer.

Percentage scale

Comparative display between current performance and personal maximum power.

Energy

The energy turnover of the body calculated with an efficiency factor of 25% or the application of the mechanical performance. The residual 75% is metabolised by the body into thermal power.

Control

The electronic system adjusts the performance or the pulse to the manually entered or default values.

Translation

Under program targets adjustable ratio of the speed to the pedal frequency.

With touring 60 RPM = 21.3 km/h or 13.2 mph is yielded.

Points' field

Indicating range with 45 × 16 points for the depiction of the performance and pulse profiles as well as text and value displays.

Pulse

Ascertainment of the heartbeat per minute

Max pulse(s)

Calculated value from 220 minus age

Target pulse

Manually or program-determined pulse value, which should be attained.

Fat combustion pulse

Calculated value of: 65% Max pulse

Fitness pulse

Calculated value of: 75% Max pulse

Manual-

Calculated value of: 40 - 90% Max pulse

Age

Here there is an entry for the calculation of the maximum pulse.

HI symbol

If HI appears a target pulse is too high by 11 beats. If HI flashes the max pulse has been exceeded.

LO symbol

If LO appears a target pulse is too low by 11 beats.
