The exercise bike uses sports medicine and exercise science amongst other
things to check the functional ability of the heart, circulation and breathing
systems.
To check if, after several weeks of training, you have achieved the desired
effects you can observe the following:
1. You are able to complete a predetermined endurance session at a
lower heart rate than before.
2. You are able to maintain a predetermined endurance session at the
same heart rate for a longer time.
3. You recover from a predetermined endurance session more quickly
than before.

maximum heart rate: Maximum effort is understood to mean achieving the
individual maximum heart rate. The maximum achievable heart frequency
is dependent on age.
The following rule of thumb applies here: the maximum heart rate per minute
corresponds to 220 heartbeats minus age.
FOr examPLe: at 50 years old > 220 ­ 50 = 170 bpm.
