Factors that can interfere with the heart rate signal include:
•
excessive movement
•
body composition
•
hydration
•
too loose grip
•
too tight grip
•
running
•
excessive dirt, powder or oil
•
leaning or resting on grips
Cybex does not recommend continuous holding onto the contact heart rate grips during exercise.
Contaminants, such as hand lotions, oils or body powder, may come off on the contact heart rate
grips. These can reduce sensitivity and interfere with the heart rate signal. It is recommended that the
user have clean hands when using the contact heart rate.
Heart Rate Zone
Heart rate is described by the number of times your heart beats in a minute. At rest, the average
adult will have a heart rate of about 72 beats per minute (BPM). As one begins to exercise, heart rate
increases and continues to increase as exercise intensity or difficulty increases.
Monitoring your heart rate is an effective way to control the intensity of your workout and
subsequently the results it will have. Whether you are a new participant or one with a great deal of
experience, weight loss and other performance goals can be achieved by controlling the intensity of
your workout.
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that healthy adults exercise between 55 and
85% of their heart rate max. Your heart rate max can be estimated by subtracting your age from 220.
Multiply that estimated heart rate max by .55 to estimate the lower end of your heart rate training
zone. Then multiply your estimated heart rate max by .85 to estimate the higher end of your training
zone. This heart rate training zone gives you a range of intensities at which to exercise.
