Training – functions and settings
Endurance training on this trainer using the E-201 computer, which offers heart rate monitoring, is easy on your
heart and joints . It is sensible basic training to increase fitness . This happens with regular exercise – the body
becomes slowly adjusted to the first unusual strain .
The E-201 allows you complete freedom in the design of your work out .
Monitor your current heart rate while training and adjust the effort accordingly . The effort can be adjusted by
increasing or decreasing the resistance or changing the cadence .
Heart rate and heart rate monitoring
The computer monitors the heart rate via the hand pulse sensors . The heart rate
is displayed in beats per minute .
Measurement via hand pulse sensors: Sensors to record heart rate from
the palms are located on the handlebars . For recording to take place both palms
1
have to be in contact with the sensors simultaneously [1] .
Not every type of fitness equipment has hand pulse sensors available.
Hand pulse sensors record the variation in resistance, which is created by the pulsa-
tion of the blood flowing through the palms. Movement on the handgrips, friction, moisture
and perspiration will influence the transmission. There are among people appreciable
physiological differences in the characteristics of the resistance change. For some people the
resistance is to weak to even be measured. In this case the computer will show no heart rate.
All these factors influence the measurement, which makes it imprecise and it should only be
used for orientation.
If the hands are dry at the beginning of the workout the hand pulse sensors might not pick
up a signal at all or register a faulty one. Usually it is sufficient to moisten the palms to
correct this.
The values that are measured and calculated here are not based on medically valid measur-
ing methods. The values therefore might not be accurate. Please contact your physician for a
medically valid measurement.
The heart rate measurement using the hand pulse sensors is not fit for medical
purposes!
Pause/interrupt exercise and reset
To interrupt the workout for a short period it is not necessary to press a key . When the unit is idle there are no
values recorded .

Safety

Our recommendation: Get a physician's advice before you start your training .
