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.
The C80 meter has a heart rate receiver, so you can
use uncoded heart rate transmitter belts for heart rate
measurement.
NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult
a physician before using a heart rate transmitter belt.
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. If you want to measure your heart
rate this way during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or 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 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.
HEART RATE IN TRAINING
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:
2 2 0 - AG E
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.
B EG I N N E R
•
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.
T R A I N E R • 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
TIME s a week. To improve your condition still further,
increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the
same time!
ACT I V E T R A I N E R • 70-80 % of maximum heart-
rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.
CONSOLE
KEYS AND DISPLAYS
1. MANUAL
Allows you to set your effort level with the arrow keys
during the workout.
2. ROLLING HILLS
This program changes the effort levels during your
workout. The display shows the program and the
changes in effort. You can choose a profile to your liking
by pushing the ROLLING HILLS key repeatedly or
with arrow keys.
3. HRC INTERVAL
This program changes the heart rate level during your
workout. The display shows the program and the
changes in target HR. You can choose a profile to your
liking by pushing the HRC INTERVAL key repeatedly
or with arrow keys.
4. TARGET HR
This program allows you to preset your heart rate level,
i.e. the resistance is regulated so that your heart rate
remains at the requested level. If the heart rate tends to
rise, resistance is reduced automatically and vice versa.
The set value can be changed also during the workout.
5. RESET
Press for 2 seconds, RESETS all values.
