TEST
FITNESS
This electronic device is equipped with a
recovery test function. This offers you the
advantage of being able to measure how long it
takes your heart rate to recover after having
finished the exercise. Upon finishing the
exercise leave your hands on the pulse sensors
(R) and press the «Recovery» button, this will
start a one minute countdown. Only the Time
and Pulse rate function read-outs will remain
displayed. The electronic device will measure
your pulse rate during this minute. The heart
rate recovery time will be displayed on the Heart
rate line.
If, at any time during this minute, you decide to
abandon this test then press the «Recovery»
button and this will take you back to the main
screen.
When the minute is up, the electronic device will
work out the difference and your fitness rating
will be displayed up on the screen: «F1, F2,...,
F5, F6»; where «F1» is the best (fitness
«Excellent») and «F6» the worst (fitness «Very
Poor»).
Pressing the RECOVERY button will take you
back to the main screen, where the functions
will be in the same mode as when the test
began.
The comparison between the worked heart rate
and the recovery heart rate provides a fast,
simple method of gauging how fit you are.
fitness rating is a guideline that shows you how
fast your heart recovers after physical exertion.
If you exercise regularly then you will see your
fitness rating improve.
The test does not work unless you have both
hands placed on the sensors (R) (Hand-grips).
In this case the message «F6» will appear on
the screen at the end of the test.
