Heart rate measuring

Note:
For some people, the skin resistance change caused by the heart rate is so minimal that the measurements
do not allow for usable values. Strong callus or sweat on the hands may also impair a correct measurement.
In such cases, the heart rate will not be shown at all or only incorrectly.
If the measurement is incorrect or not taken at all, please check if it happens to only one person or to
several people. If the pulse display only does not work in a single case, the equipment is not defective. In
this case, we recommend using a chest strap to achieve a permanently correct heart rate display.
CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Different factors may influence the
accuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only serves as a training aid.
Telemetric heart rate measuring
This indoor cycle is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a chest strap makes it
possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring. This optimal and ECG-precise type of measuring
reads the heart rate directly from the skin through a transmitting chest strap. The chest strap then sends
the impulse to the receiver integrated in the console.
Positioning the chest strap and moistening the electrodes:
Place the belt directly below the chest, while the transmitter should be placed on the middle of the
chest. The chest strap should sit comfortably, but not too loose. If the belt is too loose, the contact to the
electrodes may be disrupted or the belt may slip while exercising. The transmitter turns on automatically
once it is put on. In order to allow for a precise measuring, you should moisten the rubber electrodes. This
is best done with a special chest strap contact gel, which is also used for ultrasound scans.
Note:
If you have not been active in doing sports for a longer period of time, you should first go to your physician
in order to discuss your training with them. You should also contact your physician in advance in the event
of heart problems, high/low blood pressure and obesity.
Training with heart rate orientation
Heart rate orientation guarantees an extremely effective and healthy training. Through your age and the
following table, you can quickly and easily read and determine the optimal pulse for your training. An alarm
will sound if your heart rate exceeds the set target heart rate. Which target heart rate is important for which
training goal can be found out in the following.
Fat burning (weight management): The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In order to achieve this
training goal, a low training intensity (approximately 55% of the maximum heart rate) and a longer training
period are required.
Cardiovascular training (cardio training): The primary goal is to increase endurance and fitness through
an improved provision of oxygen through the cardiovascular system. In order to achieve this training
goal, medium intensity (approximately 75% of the maximum heart rate) with a medium training period
is required.
