3.5 The level test

When you choose a predefined training
profile, the equipment needs to know the
effort level before starting . This is your own
specific, ideal effort level, i.e., the top level at
which to set the workout parameters you
have chosen, so they suit your physical
condition. This level is determined by the test.
The test is simple and lasts 10 to 11 minutes;
to take it, you must use the heart rate meter
(chest band).
Repeating this simple test lets you check
improvements over time, making it a useful
motivational tool.
