Your strength level and training index (1) Purpose of Exercise • Have you ever been out of breath after climbing a flight of stairs or after a brisk walk? When we are walking, running and even sleeping, our body is taking in oxygen and generating energy. Oxygen taken in by the lungs is sent to the entire body via the circulatory system.

Aerobic power measurement (2) Physical Fitness Level (PFL) • There are five physical fitness levels: 1 ~ 5. These levels are relative evaluations that compare your maximum oxygen uptake (MOU), esti- mated by the aerobic power measurement program, with the values of other people of the same age and sex (Physical Fitness Level Test Table).
Automatic training Select the Automatic • For program selection see the Starting up section page 18. Training Program Input Conditions • Input age, pulse limit, exercise time and the target pulse rate. The initial display before input is as in the drawing, with the nu- meric for age blinking.

Setting your own training pattern You can create your own training pattern as desired, for both interval training and hill profile training, and can keep them in memory for future use. Enjoy your exercise under your original training program on this model. It is 1 pattern each in the Interval training (TLD-4) and Hill profile training (PRF-9), that you can write in your own customized pattern.
How to make a data card If you record your training conditions to this "Data Card", you can set the conditions merely by inserting the card into the card inlet of the control unit. You can start a program just by inserting the card and pressing button, saving all the button operation process.

Using chestbelt heart rate sensor Wireless chestbelt sensor picks up your heart rate In place of the earlobe pulse sensor, the EC-3700 can also receive your pulse signal transmitted from a particular type of wireless chestbelt sensor. The "Wireless Pulse Sensor Kit" (an optional item) is recommended for the customers who may feel inconvenience in picking up the pulse rate from the earlobe.
