Heart Rate Control (HRC)
Overview
Heart Rate Control
You are the owner of the most sophisticated Heart Rate Control treadmill available. TRUE
HRC is a unique, patented system. It accommodates a range of users from those in physical
rehabilitation to world class athletes, and all those in between. The TRUE HRC treadmill
allows you to do a completely hands free heart rate controlled workout using speed,
grade, or both. The user determines the key parameters of the HRC workout. By training
at a specific target heart rate, you can exercise at a more efficient cardiovascular level.
The TRUE HRC system is unique because you can enter the key parameters of your
workout: target heart rate, maximum speed, maximum grade, and time prior to beginning
your HRC workout. As you approach your target heart rate, the treadmill software takes
over and changes speed and/or grade to keep you near your target heart rate. This gives
you a completely hands free workout.
Recommendations
Before selecting a target heart rate control workout, it is important to use the treadmill for
several workouts in the manual mode while monitoring your heart rate. You can monitor
your heart rate during workouts by using the heart rate transmitter strap (sold separately).
Your heart rate will appear in the Message Center, and the heart will blink in the Dot
Matrix Window to indicate a signal is being received.
After you have spent some time learning how your heart reacts to different levels of speed
and grade, you will have a better understanding of how to select the maximum speed and
maximum grade required to reach your target heart rate.
CAUTION:
Consult your physician to determine your target heart rate.
La Prudence:
Consulter votre médecin pour déterminer votre taux de coeur
de cible.
