Heart Rate Measurement (Heart Rate Chest Belt) - Tunturi R20 Benutzerhandbuch

The stretching exercises should now be repeated,
again remembering not to force or jerk your
muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and
harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a
week, and if possible space your workouts evenly
throughout the week.
Muscle toning
To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will
need to have the resistance set quite high. This will
put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean
you cannot train for as long as you would like. If
you are also trying to improve your fitness you
need to alter your training program. You should
train as normal during the warm up and cool down
phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase
you should increase resistance making your legs
work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to
keep your heart rate in the target zone.
Weight loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort
you put in. The harder and longer you work the
more calories you will burn. Effectively this is
the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference is the goal.
Heart rate measurement
(heart rate chest belt)
The most accurate heart rate measurement is
achieved with a heart rate chest belt. The heart rate
is measured by a heart rate receiver in combination
with a heart rate transmitter belt. Accurate heart
measurement requires that the electrodes on the
transmitter belt are slight moist and constantly
touching the skin. If the electrodes are too dry or
too moist, the heart rate measurement will become
less accurate.
WARNING
• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician
before using a heartrate chest belt.
CAUTION
• If there are several heart rate measurement
devices next to each other, make sure that
the distance between them is at least 1.5
metres.
• If there is only one heart rate receiver and
several heart rate transmitters, make sure
that only one person with a transmitter is
within transmission range.
NOTE
• Always wear the heart rate chest belt under
your clothes directly in contact with your
skin. Do not wear the heart rate chest belt
above your clothes. If you wear the heart rate
chest belt above your clothes, there will be
no signal.
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout,
an alarm will sound when it is exceeded.
• The transmitter transmits the heart rate to
the console up to a distance of 1 metre. If
the electrodes are not moist, the heart rate
will not appear on the display.
• Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester,
polyamide) create static electricity which can
prevent accurate heart rate measurement.
• Mobile phones, televisions and
other electrical appliances create an
electromagnetic field which can prevent
accurate heart rate measurement.
Maximum heart rate
(during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate
a person can safely achieve through exercise
stress. The following formula is used to calculate
the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The
maximum heart rate varies from person to person.
WARNING
• Make sure that you do not exceed your
maximum heart rate during your workout.
If you belong to a risk group, consult a
physician.
