Choosing And Monitoring The Target Pulse - SPORTSTECH F37s Guia Del Usuario

7.4 CHOOSING AND MONITORING THE TARGET PULSE

The pulse rate in BPM ('Beats per Minute') indicates very well if you are training according to your target
and your current personal fitness level. The BPMs for the targets depend not at least on the age. You
should monitor your pulse in a suitable way.
Many Sportstech devices show the pulse range that you are currently in not only as a numeric
value, but also by means of colours - based on the maximum heart rate ('MHR') typical for your age.
Always adhere to the following notes:
WARNING! Danger of health damage or even death due to incorrect or excessive training!
Prevent overexertion! Always respect individual, current fitness levels. Pay attention to
•
body signals!
Pulse measurement systems can be inaccurate.
•
The training target ranges are only average guidelines that must be adapted to the
•
individual constitution. Medically well-founded support is recommended here!
Select a guide value for your target pulse as follows:
• Select your age in the graphic on the right.
• Below, your age-typical maximum pulse (MHR) is shown as an estimated value.
The Selection graph A allows
to determine a Target pulse
range.
• From your age value, go
up into the colour field
which corresponds to your
training target.
• Then go straight to the left
and read the target pulse
range from the scale.
Selection table B allows
determining an average
value for the target pulse.
For this:
• From your age value, go
down into the table row
which corresponds to your
training target.
• Read the numeric value.
You can use it as a guide
value for your target pulse.
In any case:
Check if the determined target pulse suits your needs. If not, re-adjust it until you've found your
•
individual optimum value.
• During training, the LED colour shows in real-time, in which percentage of the age-typical maximum
pulse (MHR) you are currently cycling. The LED colours correspond with the above diagrams.
