OWN TRAINING
You can create and save up to 100 training programs on
the meter.
SAVING A PROGRAM
1. End your training session by pressing BACK/STOP.
2. Select SAVE AND EXIT and confirm your selection.
3. Enter a name for the training session and press enter.
IMPORTANT! You can only save programs that are
longer than 10 minutes.
IMPORTANT! To save a training session you will need
to select a username.
USING SAVED PROGRAMS
1. Select OWN TRAINING.
2. Select a training session from the list.
3. Select the desired execution method:
A) Replay = repeat a previously saved exercise.
B) Edit = edit the duration of a previously saved exercise
before you start.
C) Race = compete against a previously saved workout.
NOTE! You can only use program profiles created in the
Manual function. These profiles show effort as a constant
torque (Nm).
4. Confirm your selection by pressing the select button.
A) Replay = start pedaling to begin the exercise. You can
adjust the effort level with the slider.
B) Edit = select the duration of the exercise with the slider
(set the time to 10-180 minutes). Start pedaling to begin
the exercise. You can adjust the effort level with the slider.
C) Race = scroll the list to select the race mode (time:
the distance you can pedal in a given time; or distance:
how fast you can cover a given distance) and confirm
your selection using the select button. The display shows
a previously saved program. Start pedaling to begin the
race. The dashed line on the display shows whether you
are ahead or behind the benchmark training session,
which is
the most recently saved training session using this
program. The distance to the previously saved session
is also displayed: the previously saved training session is
shown with a light blue vertical dash line, and your race
effort is shown with a black vertical dash line.
5. To stop the training session, press the BACK/STOP button.
You can then stop the session by selecting EXIT, save the
session to the memory by selecting SAVE AND EXIT or
continue your training session by selecting CONTINUE.
FITNESS TEST
The meter uses a multi-step fitness test. The test begins at a
low level of effort, which increases steadily in accordance
with the selected test type. A multi-step test is a safe and
reliable, submaximal means of measuring a person's
physical fitness level. The test continues
until the test subject has achieved his or her individual
target heart rate (85% of maximum heart rate). The test
requires the use of a heart rate belt: the meter monitors
changes in the heart rate throughout the test, using the
data to calculate an estimate of the tested person's
maximum oxygen uptake capacity. The maximum
oxygen uptake capacity is the best measure of a person's
physical fitness level. After the test, the meter gives
versatile information on your fitness level: a description
and a numerical value (ml/kg/min).
PREPARING FOR THE TEST
1. Make sure that the data associated with your username
is updated – the meter uses the user data as a basis for
the fitness test.
2. Select FITNESS TEST.
3. Scroll the list to select the most suitable fitness category
for you:
A) Inactive = no regular exercise, poor physical condition
B) Active = regular exercise, average or good physical
condition
C) Athletic = active training, good or excellent physical
condition
4. The display shows the appropriate test type for each
fitness category:
A) Step time = duration of different effort levels in the test
B) First step = initial effort level
C) Step power = effort level of steps (in watts), the test
features several steps
5. Confirm your selection by pressing the select button.
6. If necessary, you can adjust your target heart rate value
using the slider. Confirm your settings using the select
button.
7. The display informs you that you can stop the test once
you reach the target heart rate for the test. Start the test
by pressing the button.
PERFORMING THE TEST
1. The display shows the selected test step type. Start
pedaling to begin the test. A red diagram that updates
as you progress in the test represents your heart rate. A
discontinuous line in red indicates your target heart rate.
2. Once the target heart rate level has been achieved,
the meter gives an audio signal and displays a message.
We recommend that you end the test here, unless you are
relatively fit. If you have set your target heart rate correctly
(that is, if you have calculated your maximum heart
rate accurately enough), continuing the test beyond
this point will not increase the accuracy of the result. If
you overestimate your maximum heart rate, your fitness
level will be overestimated. Similarly, if you underestimate
your maximum heart rate, your fitness level will be
underestimated.
3. To stop the test once you reach the target heart rate
level, press the BACK/STOP button or stop pedaling. The
meter will now switch to the test result display:
A) Aerobic fitness = an estimate of your fitness level in your
regular effort zone, which gives the best indication of the
state of your health-related fitness.
B) MET value = a reading that shows the multiple of your
maximum oxygen uptake at complete rest.
C) ml/kg/min = a reading that tells how many milliliters of
oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute your body
consumes.
D) l/min = a reading that tells your oxygen uptake in liters
per minute. Unlike the above values, l/min does not take
account of the user's body weight.
E) Wmax = an estimate of your maximal exercise power,
measured in watts.
F) W/kg = the ratio of your maximal exercise power to your
weight.
