TREADMILL DISPLAY DEFINITIONS
Calories — Provides a current total of the number of calories burned during
a workout. Note: this number is only an approximation as a user's caloric
expenditure will vary significantly based on a persons age, gender, weight
and metabolism.
Calories/Hour — Provides the rate at which calories are burned per hour at the
current speed and incline.
Pace — Displays the walking/running pace in minutes per mile (or minutes per
kilometer), or the time it will take you to complete one mile (or one kilometer)
at your current rate. Pace is shown in the top text line.
Watts — During a workout, this statistic displays the power output at the
current speed and incline, displayed in watts (746 watts = 1 hp).
METs — Gives you the relative energy cost of exercise. MET stands for
multiples of the resting metabolic rate. While you are sitting quietly, your body
consumes oxygen at the rate of about 3.5 milliliters per kilogram of body mass
per minute. When you exercise, your body needs more oxygen in order to
function. For example, exercising at 10 METs requires ten times the resting rate
of oxygen consumption, or about 35 milliliters per kilogram per minute. During a
workout, the display shows the current MET level. During the workout summary,
the average MET level is displayed.
Workout Profile — The dot-matrix area of the display shows the actual
course profile of the selected exercise program. The taller the column, the
higher the incline and/or speed for that interval. The flashing column shows
your current interval.
