Recovery Program
The Recovery Program determines the rate at which you recover after a work
out . The recovery rating is a value with which personal fitness can be judged .
The recovery rating is calculated using the difference between the heart
rate at the end of the work out and the one after 60 seconds of recovery .
What applies: The higher the difference between the two values, the higher
your recovery rating also meaning the greater your fitness level . As a basic
principle, for a conditioned person the heart rate will decrease quicker as for
the unconditioned person .
By choosing the recovery program at the end of the work out the fitness
ranking will be received after 60 seconds .
Recovery
The read out HEART RATE on the display will show the current heart rate .
Directly next to the current heart rate you will see the last saved value from
your workout. The time counts down from 60 seconds to 0:00.
When 0:00 is reached three beep tones will sound. This signals the end of
the Recovery Program . The readout on the control panel shows the fitness
ranking .
The two heart rate values, last saved value during the workout (on left) and
the value after 60 seconds of recovery (on right below HEART RATE), will
continue to be displayed .
The fitness ranking
F1 – excellent fitness
F2 – good fitness
F3 – satisfactory fitness
F4 – minimal fitness
F5 – fitness needs improvement
F6 – fitness needs major improvement

For the accurate evaluation of your fitness ranking it is imperative
that you hold the hand pulse sensors firmly, so that the heart rate
can be measured correctly. If a chest strap (optional) is used, it
supplies the values for the calculation.
