• Training Form „RECT." or „R 2":
The „Rectangular" and the „R 2" pro-
gram are interval training programs. Their
graphical depiction corresponds to rect-
angles lined-up next to one another. On
the one hand side, these interval pro-
grams provide variety, and on the other
side, they correspond to typical every-
day load – for example, climbing up the
stairs.
Program „RECT.":
The maximum heart rate is the con-
trol parameter.
The maximum load is the safety pa-
rameter.
Program „R 2":
The maximum load is the control pa-
rameter.
The maximum heart rate is the safety
parameter.
Interval: duration at the upper level of the load curve
Interval2: duration at the lower level of the load curve
(applies only to „R 2")
Ramp: The setting "Ramp" defines the lowest load value during the recovery interval. The length of
the recovery interval can be set between one and five minutes.
• Training Form „Constant" :
In the constant load program, a constant load as defined by the program is applied after the warm-up
phase.
max. heart rate
maximum load
• Training Form „Hand" :
In the program "Hand", the load value can be manually controlled via the cursor control buttons in steps
of 5 Watts.

Training with variobike 550/550C
In case the „maximum heart rate" is already reached during the load in-
crease phase prior to reaching the maximum load level, then this current load
value becomes the „target load".
Upon reaching the „maximum heart rate", the load is decreased by 30%.
If, even after 2 minutes, the heart rate still exceeds the „maximum heart rate",
the load is reduced by 30% once more.
If, even after another 2 minutes, the heart rate still exceeds the „maximum
heart rate", the recovery period begins automatically.
In case the heart rate falls below the maximum heart rate within these 4
minutes (load reduced twice by 30%), then the load is increased again as
programmed („Load increase") until either the target load or the maximum
heart rate is reached.
