while exercising. The transmitter turns on automatically once it is put on. In order to
allow for a precise measuring, you should moisten the rubber electrodes. This is best
done with a special chest strap contact gel, which is also used for ultrasound scans.
Note:
If you have not been active in doing sports for a longer period of time, you should
first go to your physician in order to discuss your training with them. You should also
contact your physician in advance in the event of heart problems, high/low blood
pressure and obesity.
Training with heart rate orientation
Heart rate orientation guarantees an extremely effective and healthy training. Through
your age and the following table, you can quickly and easily read and determine the
optimal pulse for your training. An acoustic alarm will sound if your heart rate exceeds
the set target heart rate. Which target heart rate is important for which training goal
can be found out in the following.
Fat burning (weight management): The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In
order to achieve this training goal, a low training intensity (approximately 55% of the
maximum heart rate) and a longer training period are required.
Cardiovascular training (cardio training): The primary goal is to increase stamina
and fitness through an improved provision of oxygen through the cardiovascular
system. In order to achieve this training goal, medium intensity (approximately 75%
of the maximum heart rate) with a medium training period is required.
Anaerobic (maximum) load training: The main goal of maximum load training is to
improve recovery after short, intense loads in order to be able to quickly return to the
aerobic zone. In order to achieve this training goal, a high intensity (approximately
90% of the maximum heart rate) with short, intense load is required, which is followed
by a recovery phase in order to prevent muscle fatigue.
