4 Description of functions

4.1 Switching on

The display is switched on by putting in the batteries, by pressing any button or by beginning training (pedalling). Directly after being switched on,

an automatic test sequence is carried out (all segments are shown for two seconds).

After that the kilometre total is shown in the "kilojoule" field for ten seconds the display can be turned off by pressing any button or by pedalling.

4.2 Switching off

The display switches off automatically four minutes after the training session (no pedalling, no buttons pressed).

4.3 Re-setting the display

If you press the SET button for longer than two seconds with the home trainer idle (no read-out of pedal revolutions) and swinging disc at rest, the display will be re-set and the opening display will appear. All training data will be lost.

4.4 Training parameters/ training modes

4.4.1 Count-up mode

If the display is started by beginning to train (pedalling) and no person has been selected, then all data are displayed independently of persons and in "count-up mode" (all figures are counted up from zero).

Display directly after training starts, the heart symbol flashes in time
with the rhythm of the pulse, if a pulse signal is connected (also ap
plies for all following illustrations, where the heart symbol is shown).

4.4.2 Pre-set mode

Press the SET button with the home trainer idle (no pedalling)
In pre-set mode the values can be changed using the + and - buttons. If one of these two buttons is pressed for longer than two seconds the numbers move forwards or backwards with the larger step. Simultaneous pressing of the + and - buttons cause the entry to be deleted. The SET button stores the current value and the display computer jumps to the next value to be entered. The parameters begin with KILOJOULE and take the following sequence: KILOJOULE>TIME>KM>PULSE>KILOJOULE ETC. (continuous sequence).
You can quit pre-set mode by pedalling or pressing the SET button for more than two seconds (re-set all values to zero).
All preset values count backwards if you pedal. Ranges without pre-set data count upwards.
If zero is reached when counting backwards, all segments flash for five seconds. After that the numbers are counted upwards from the values attained.
The following training data are requested.

4.4.2.1 Energy consumption

Limiting values: 0-9990 kilojoules

Energy consumption read-out (deactivated)

Pre-set data for energy consumption

The energy read-out ("KILJOULE" and number segments) flashes. The main read-out shows "OFF".

After making an entry using the + and - buttons, the display shows the current values. They can be stored using the SET button.

4.4.2.2 Training time

Limiting values 0-99 min

Pre-setting training time (deactivated)

Pre-setting training time

The time read-out flashes ("TIME" and number segment). The main display shows "OFF".

After entering using + and - buttons, the display shows the current values. They can be stored using the SET button.

4.4.2.3 Training distance Limiting values 0-99 km

Pre-setting the training distance (deactivated)

Pre-setting the training distance

The distance display flashes (KM and number segments). The main display shows "OFF".

After a value has been entered using the + and - buttons the display ws the current values. They can be stored using the SET button.

4.4.2.4 Pulse rate monitoring Limiting values 40-180 beats

Pre-setting pulse rate (deactivated)

Pre-setting pulse rate

The pulse read-out flashes ("LO/ HI" and the number segments). The main display shows "OFF".

After making an entry using the + and - buttons the display shows the current values. They can be stored using the SET button.

The data calculate the aerobic zone (pulse entry + / - 10 beats). They are stored using the SET button and the data-entry procedure continues with "KILJO ULE" (continuous process).

4.4.2.5 Miscellaneous

If the + or - buttons are pressed for a moderately long time while pre-setting the data

Then the number moves forwards or backwards rapidly. If both buttons are pressed simultaneously the display jumps to the initial value (mostly zero or OFF). The fast forward and reverse only takes place between the data-entry limits.

4.4.2.6 End of entry mode

The preset entry mode can be quit by pedalling (starting training) or by pressing the SET button for more than two seconds (all values reset to zero). Aerobic zone = 180 minus age +/ - 10 beats

5 Displays and calculations

5.1 Kilometre total

After switching on or resetting the display the kilometre total is displayed for ten seconds with "KM". In addition the word "odo" appears. The kilometre total is counted in 100 metre steps upwards. The data is displayed in whole kilometres, however.

Display of kilometre total (example of 38km )

When the battery is changed the kilometre total is lost. Please make a note beforehand of your training kilometres.

5.2 Energy consumption

The read-out is from 0-9999 kilojoules. The display is possible in count-up and pre-set mode. Calculation of calories is based on a setting of medium resistance

5.3 Pedal revolutions

Pedal revolutions are shown between 20 and 199 rpm.

5.4 Speed/ distance

Both data are shown in the same display at five-second alternating intervals

5.4.1 Speed

The speed is calculated so that at pedal revolutions of 60 rpm a speed of approximately 21.3km / h is indicated.

5.4.2 Distance

Kilometres travelled are indicated in counting-up and pre-set mode in 10m intervals from 0.00 km to 99.99 km.

5.5 Time

The training time is shown between 0.00 and 99.59 minutes. The time read-out is only shown if the pedal revolutions are above 20 rpm. The read-out can be in count-up or pre-set mode.

5.6 Pulse-rate measurement

5.6.1 Measurement

Measurement of pulse rate is either by the ear clip or the wrist pulse sensors or with a chest belt with plug-in receiver (obtainable is specialist stores). The connecting plug for wrist-pulse detection is at the back. If there is no ear clip or plug-in receiver in the pulse box on the front then wrist pulse measuring is activated. If an ear clip or plug-in receiver is connected with the pulse box then wrist pulse detection is automatically deactivated.

It is not necessary to pull out the wrist pulse sensors.

5.6.2 Display

The recorded pulse rate is always shown. The heart symbol flashes at the measured pulse rate. If there is no pulse signal then a "P" appears in the pulse display. In this case the "P" is not displayed in the main display in SCAN mode. The read-out jumps immediately to the next item

5.6.3 Monitoring the aerobic zone

The aerobic zone is calculated with the following formula:

If the pulse rate determined by the age and the resulting aerobic zone is

not attained, the symbol "LO" flashes. If the aerobic pulse rate is exce

ded the "HI" symbol flashes. The LO/ HI read-out is activated when the target pulse rate (180-age) is reached. If no pulse rate limit is entered then this function is deactivated.

5.6.4Recovery

After the recovery button has been pressed the automatic measurement pulse rate recovery is started. The current pulse rate is indicated on the lower right hand side. In the main display the numbers count down from 0.60 to 0.00.. All other read-outs are switched off.

Display during the recovery function

The fitness mark is calculated according to the following formula:

$$ \text {M a r k} = 6 - \left[ \frac {1 0 \times (\mathrm {P} 1 - \mathrm {P} 2)}{\mathrm {P} 1} \right] ^ {2} $$

Two values are calculated for the pulse rate, P1 at the beginning of measuring and P2 after one minute.

Toobtain the fitness mark the following conditions must be met
1. P1 is less than P2 (P1-P2 is negative)
2. The value in the bracket is greater than 5.0 The fitness mark of 1.0 is given
3. P1 is greater than P2 and the bracket value lies in the region bet ween 0 to 5.0

The read-out of the mark is in the central display with a pre-fixed "F" (e.g. F3.0, one decimal place). In the pulse read-out, the difference obtained between starting pulse rate and final pulse rate is shown.

Fitness mark

The read-out of the fitness mark can be quitted during and after counting back by pressing any button.

If at the end of measuring there is no pulse signal (P2 measurement) then a flashing "E" appears in the central display. If the signal drops out at the beginning of counting back (P1 measurement) then the countdown is not started.

6 Training

6.1 Display during training

During training the data of the lower displays in scan mode (automatic change of read-out) are shown for five seconds each in the central display. The data is shown in the following order
DISTANCE > KILOJOULES> TIME > KM >KM/H >PULSE >RPM, etc. (continuous)

If the SET button is pressed the "?" display goes out and the user can call up the other read-outs in the main display by pressing the + or - button. This read-out will remain until the + or - button is used to call up another read-out or the SET button is pressed to reactivate the scan mode. The data that appears in the central main display can be identified by the identification code above the read-out. At the beginning of training the scan mode is always activated. This is also the case if training is interrupted and started again, regardless of the previous setting.

6.2 Interruption of training/ end of training

Training comes to an end when no revolutions are counted or the "recovery" button is pressed.

After four minutes without any button being pressed and without any revolutions being detected the display switches off. All training data is lost.

7 Training instruction

This home trainer has been specially developed for the amateur sportsman or woman. It is particularly well-suited to cardiovascular training.

Training should be planned methodically according to the principles of training for stamina. This produces alterations and adaptations of the cardiovascular system. Among these are the lowering of resting pulse rate and pulse rate under exertion.

This makes more time available for the heart to fill the ventricles and to initiate the heart musculature with blood through the coronary arteries. In addition, the volume and depth of oxygen that can be breathed in increases (the vital capacity). Other positive changes take place in the metabolism. In order to take advantage of these positive changes the training has to be planned according to certain guidelines.

Intensity of training

Intensity is regulated in training with the home trainer firstly by means of the pedalling cadence and secondly by the resistance to pedalling. The trainee determines the resistance to pedalling using a ten-speed shift. It is important never to set too severe a level of intensity and to avoid excessive exertion. Incorrect or excessive training can lead to health problems.

Accordingly, use your pulse rate to check while training whether you have correctly set the intensity of training. A rule of thumb for a suitable pulse rate is:

180 - age in years

which means that, say, a fifty-year-old person should plan his or her s mina training around a pulse rate of 130.

Recommendations for training based on these calculations are regarded as desirable by many recognised authorities on sports medicine. such, you should set the pedalling cadence and the resistance to pedalling according to the rule of thumb mentioned above.

Note that these recommendations apply to healthy person and not to people suffering from cardiovascular disease!

Exertion

• The beginner should increase the severity of his or her training only gradually. The first training units should be relatively short and should take the form of interval training sessions.

Sports medicine regards the following regimes as having training effect

Frequency of training	Length of training session
daily 10 minutes
2-3 x times a week	20-30 minutes
1-2 x times a week	60 minutes

The beginner is strongly advised not to start with training sessions of 30 -60 minutes.

Training for the beginner should be planned along the following lines:

Frequency	Lenght of exercise blocks
1st week
three times a week	2 minutes training1 minute break for gymnastics2 minutes training1 minute break for gymnastics2 minutes training
2 nd week
three times a week	3 minutes training1 minute break for gymnastics3 minutes training1 minute break for gymnastics2 minutes training
3 rd week
three times a week	4 minutes training1 minute break for gymnastics3 minutes training1 minute break for gymnastics3 minutes training
4 th week
three times a week	5 minutes training1 minute break for gymnastics4 minutes training1 minute break for gymnastics4 minutes training

To document your personal training you can enter the training data you have achieved in the performance table. Before and after each training unit a five-minute session of callisthenics serves as a warm-up or cool down. One day should be left free between every two training sessions later you prefer to train three times weekly for 20-30 minutes. Otherwise there is nothing against daily training.
