Heart Rate - Tunturi BIKE 3.0 Manual Del Usuario

You should exercise at least three times a week,
30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level.
Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each
week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it
is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of
exercise sessions. You should start slowly at a low pedaling
speed and low resistance, because for an overweight
person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and
circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves,
resistance and pedaling speed can be increased
gradually.

HEART RATE

No matter what your goal, you'll get the best results by
training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is
your own heart rate.
PULSE MEASUREMENT WITH HANDGRIP
SENSORS
Hand pulse is measured using the sensors located
on the handlebars. The sensors measure electric
impulses, which are formed when the person's heart
is beating. Measurement is started by touching both
handlebar sensors simultaneously. To ensure reliable
pulse measurement, skin must be slightly moist and skin
contact with sensors must be continuous. If skin is too dry
or too wet, the hand pulse measurement operation is less
reliable. Try to keep your upper body and palms relaxed
and still.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
The most reliable heart rate measurement is achieved
with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of the
transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the pulses from
the heart to the console by means of an electromagnetic
field.
NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please
consult a physician before using a heart rate transmitter
belt.
If you want to measure your heart rate this way during
your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the
transmitter belt with water. Fasten the transmitter just
below the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough
so that the electrodes remain in contact with the skin
while exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing
is prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a
light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the
electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically
transmits the heart rate reading to the console up to a
distance of about 1 m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-rate
reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes
are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the
electrodes warm up properly to ensure accurate heart
rate measurement. If there are several telemetric heart
rate measurement devices next to each other, the
distance between them should be at least 1.5 m. Similarly,
if there is only one receiver and several transmitters in
use, only one person with a transmitter should be within
transmission range. The transmitter is switched to an active
state only when it is being used for measurement. Sweat
and other moisture can, however, keep the transmitter in
Bike 3.0_manual_120911.indd 5
an active state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is
important to dry the electrodes carefully after use.
When selecting training attire, please note that some
fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create
static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate
measurement. Please note that a mobile phone, television
and other electrical appliances form an electromagnetic
field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate
measurement.
First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate
doesn't increase with added effort. If you don't know your
maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as
a guide:
220 - AGE
The formula gives an average value; the maximum varies
from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes
on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk
group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate
for you.
We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help
you with targeted training.
BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate
Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven't exercised for a long time.
Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is
recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves
beginners' respiratory and circulatory performance and
you will quickly feel your improvement.
TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate
Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even
reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively,
training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a
week. To improve your condition still further, increase either
frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!
ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes
long-endurance workouts.
