Instructions On Pulse 15 Measurement; With Hand Pulse; Malfunctions; Or Erroneous Readings - Kettler YT 6799-7-U Manual

Instructions for pulse measurement
The pulse measurement starts as soon as the heart in the display
blinks in time with your pulse beat.

With hand pulse

An extra-low voltage caused by the contractions of your heart is
registered by the hand sensors and evaluated by the electronics
assembly of the device.
• Always grab the contact faces with both hands.
• Avoid jerky grasping.
• Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions and rubbing
on the contact faces.
Malfunctions or erroneous readings
After inserting the batteries and in case of faults or erroneous
readings press the " " button for longer (Reset).
Training Instructions
Sports medicine and training science use cycle ergometry,
among other things, for the examination of the functional capa-
bility of heart, circulation and respiratory system.
You can find out whether or not you have achieved the desired
effect from your training after several weeks using the following
method:
1. You manage a particular endurance performance with less
heart / circulation performance than previously
2. You sustain a particular endurance performance with the
same heart / circulation performance over a longer period.
3. You recover more quickly than previously after a particular
heart / circulation performance.
Guide values for the endurance training
Maximum pulse: maximum strain means the reaching of the
individual maximum pulse. The maximum achievable heart rate
is dependant on age.
Here, the following empirical formula applies: the maximum
heart rate per minute corresponds to 220 heart beats minus age
in years.
Example: age 50 years -> 220 – 50 = 170 pulse / min.
Load Intensity
Load pulse: the optimum intensity of load is reached at 65–75%
(see also diagram) of the maximum pulse. This value changes
depending on age.

Extent Of Load
Duration of a training unit and its frequency per week:
The optimum extent of load is attained, if 65–75% of the indivi-
dual heart / circulation performance is achieved over a longer
period.
Empirical Formula:
Training frequency
daily
2–3 times a week
1–2 times a week
Beginners should not begin with training units of 30-60 minutes.
The beginner's training can be planned as follows in the first 4
weeks:
Training frequency
3 times a week
3 times a week
3 times a week
3 times a week
It is recommended that you perform approx. 5 minutes of exer-
cises before and after every training unit, in order to warm up
and cool down. There should be a training-free day between
each two consecutive training units, if you prefer training sessi-
ons of 20-30 minutes 3 times a week later on in your training.
Otherwise, there is no reason why you should not train daily.
