maximum heart rate, please use the following
formula as a guide:
This is an average value and the maximum varies
from person to person. The maximum heart-rate
diminishes on average by one point per year. If you
belong to one of the risk groups mentioned earlier,
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.
•
Beginner 50-60 % of maximum heart rate
Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven't exercised for a long time.
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.
•
Trainer 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 times a week. To improve your
condition still further, increase either frequency or
effort, but not both at the same time!

rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.
Rest is as important as exercise in a fitness
program. If you for instance exercise
conscientiously for three weeks, it's good to make
the following week a little lighter.

of heart rate information is important to you, we

belt; unlike with the heart rate belt, the accuracy
of pulse measurement may vary considerably from

consult a physician before using a wireless heart
rate monitor.
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
pedaling, 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 meter up to a distance of about
1 meter. The heart-rate value is displayed in the
meter. Follow your heart rate during the training.

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 to warm up properly to
ensure accurate heart-rate measurement. If there
are several telemetric heart rate measurement
equipments 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 electro-magnetic
field around them, which will cause problems in
heart rate measurement.
