Heart Rate Control Workout Operation; Fitness Test - Matrix U7xi Owner's Manual

HEART RATE CONTROL WORKOUT OPERATION

Your Matrix machine offers a heart rate control workout
mode. The heart rate control workout mode allows the
user to program their desired heart rate zone and the
machine will automatically adjust the level based upon the
user's heart rate. The heart rate zone is calculated using
the following equation: (220-Age) * % = target heart rate
zone. The user must wear a telemetric heart rate monitor
or continually hold onto the contact heart rate grips for this
workout.

FITNESS TEST

This test measures cardiovascular fitness and provides an
estimated sub-maximal VO2 result. It is based on power output
according to ACSM standards and was developed by the
Cooper Institute (© www.cooperinstitute.org)
User RPMs must remain between 60-80 RPM during the test.
The test will end when the user can no longer maintain this
speed. Use of a heart rate strap is optional but provides more
data.
The test starts at a low intensity level and gradually increases
in intensity (difficulty) every 2 minutes. As it increases, the user
must maintain 60-80RPM to advance to the next level. The
test could take upwards of 30+ minutes for very fit individuals.
Once the test ends a recovery period (cool down) will begin
and the user's results are calculated and displayed. Results
are based on the number of stages completed:
