Getting to Know Fluid Loss
When exercising, your body regulates temperature through sweat loss,
heat radiation and respiration. Dehydration reduces maximal aerobic
power and endurance performance. Greater dehydration results with
greater decrements in performance. The Fluid Check
TM
feature provides
feedback to you with respect to your dehydration level. See page 93 for
Fluid Check
TM
Monitoring Tips and Guidelines.
The Fluid Check
TM
feature is controlled by the stopwatch. If you have
turned on the Fluid Check
TM
feature, the watch will show the fluid loss
value in the Recall Data Mode. When in the Chrono Mode, the watch
display will flash and the watch will beep each time your fluid loss equals
.5% of your body weight. The higher the amount of fluid loss, the faster it
will beep.
Tips:
1) If you did the Personal MET Calibration (see page 37) and take the Transmitter
Belt with you during exercise, the watch will calculate the amount of your
fluid loss by detecting the physiological changes of your body.
2) If you forgot take the Transmitter Belt with you, you would need to manually
input Exercise Type & Intensity (see page 35).
Note: Unless the stopwatch is running, the Fluid Check
TM
feature will
automatically turn off at the midnight (i.e. 12:00 PM).
