Cycle: Setting A Resistance Range - Precor 954i Owner's Manual

Cycle: Setting a Resistance Range

You can set a low, medium or high range of resistance on the
recumbent or upright cycles. Within each setting, 25 levels of
resistance are available, but the chosen setting affects the overall
resistance range.
Physical therapy conditioning is an example where you might use this
programming feature. If a user has an injury that needs low levels of
resistance, you might set the resistance range to low to make sure
that the user does not induce further injury by exceeding your
recommended levels of resistance.
Table 4 provides short descriptions of each group.

Setting Description
HI or HIGH Provides the full range of resistance available. If an upright
cycle user chooses the high-end resistance levels, the cycle
provides enough resistance to simulate sprinting or hill
climbing for users wishing to stand on the upright cycle. It
also provides enough resistance for elite riders that are
capable of spinning at high speed with high resistance.
MED or Provides approximately two thirds of the resistance that is
MEDIUM available within the high group setting. Club owners may
want to select the medium range for recumbent cycles.
Since users cannot stand on recumbent cycles, less
resistance is needed by the average (non-elite) user. A
medium range may provide more comfort. It also allows
users to make easier resistance changes in the preset
programs.
LO or LOW Provides approximately one third of the resistance that is
available within the high group setting. The low range may
be appropriate in special situations where poorly
conditioned users are anticipated. The low range is not
recommended for the club environment.
