Console - Tunturi C85 Owner's Manual

Don't forget to stretch afterwards. To strengthen
cardiovascular system, maintain low resistance but
high tempo. Exercising with higher resistance and slow
tempo strengthens correspondingly your back and hips.
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.
The C85 meter has a heart rate receiver compatible with
Polar equipment, so you can also use Polar uncoded
heart rate transmitter belts for heart rate measurement.
NOTE!
If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult
a physician before using a heart rate transmitter belt.
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. 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.
HAND GRIP PULSE MEASUREMENT
(HGP-VERSION)
Pulse is measured by sensors in the handlebars. Pulse is
measured when the user of C85 is touching both sensors
simultaneously. Reliable pulse measurement requires
O W N E R ' S M A N U A L
that the skin is constantly touching the sensors and
that the skin is slightly moist. Too dry or too moist skin
weakens the reliability of hand pulse measurement.
HEART RATE IN TRAINING
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:
2 0 8 - 0 ,7 X AG E
The formula gives an average value, 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.
•
B E G I N N E R 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate
Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven't exercised for a long
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.
•
T R A I N E R 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
s a week. To improve your condition still further,
TIME
increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the
same time!
•
AC T I V E T R A I N E R 70-80 % of maximum heart-
rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.
