Unity integration with NFC and Bluetooth
How to use the NFC sensor
Activate the Internet connection on your device and download the data with NFC.
Identify the position of the NFC sensor on your device (on a smartphone, for example).
Before starting the exercise, place your own device on the equipment and line the sensor on your device up with the NFC logo. In this way, your device
connects to the Technogym cloud and displays the training program and video showing how to do the exercises correctly.
At the end of the exercise the results are saved in the Technogym cloud.
To connect with NFC:
- the internet connection in Unity must be activated;
- the Technogym application must be installed in your personal device

To start one of the exercises or the test:
- touch the name of the category; a list of exercises or tests will appear on the right

- touch the scroll symbol on the right.
The following is the list of categories and the exercises included in each of them.
The number of exercises, categories and tests may vary depending on the line (Artis
or Excite) and product.
Goal driven exercises
These are exercises which start quickly because the only parameter that requires
setting is the goal value.
- time
- distance
- calories
Heart rate driven exercises
These are exercises performed at a constant heart rate and therefore the heart rate
monitor must be used:
- CPR, constant pulse rate
- Training zone
- Weight loss
On trend
- Hi-low blocks
- Hills
- Cross training
- Burn out, exercise specic for Bike and Recline Artis

Advanced exercises
These are exercises in various steps, with preset load variations or variations set by the user:
- Preset proles
- Create your own
Tests
Depending on the type of equipment, there are three test categories available:
- Maximal tests
- Submaximal tests
- Military tests
You may be asked to enter data before starting the exercises and the test.
Age and weight data are not generally needed to start an exercise, they are optional. Entering your age and weight is useful for some calculations; for example:
- if your weight is entered, the calculation of calories burned will be more precise;
- if your age is entered, calculation of your max heart rate will be more precise.
If no user data is entered, the calculations are based on a use who is 30 years old and weighs 70 kg.

- speed, expressed in rpm, that is “revolutions per minute”;
- eort level.
In Synchro, Step, Vario and Crossover the following data is also shown:
- power, expressed in watts;
- speed, expressed in spm, that is “strides per minute”;
- eort level.

In the Excite Step the distance is expressed in oors.
The theoretical max heart rate (HR) is calculated with the formula
220-age, therefore we recommend inserting the age whensetting
an exercise, even though it is not compulsory, for a correct heart
rate display.
W
Always check that your heart rate never goes above
90% of your maximum rate.

Keys that are active during the exercise
Pause / Stop key
To interrupt the exercise for a quick pause. During pauses, all values remain where
they were; press RESTART to continue, or STOP to nish. A message informs you of the
maximum pause time, after which the exercise stops, displaying the results achieved
up to the interruption.
Stop key
To end the exercise without a cool down.
The Stop key to nish the exercise is present while the exercise is paused.
Cool down key
To end the exercise and start the cool down.
Change speed keys (in Run and Jog)
During the exercise, the + and - keys in the speed box can be used to change the speed
of the treadmill belt. The speed increases or decreases by 0.1 km/h each time the key
is pressed.
You can also use the Fast Track control on the right to change the speed.
Change gradient keys (in Run and Jog)
During the exercise, the + and - keys in the gradient box can be used to change the
gradient of the treadmill belt. The gradient increases or decreases by 0.5% each time
the key is pressed.
You can also use the Fast Track control on the right to change the gradient.

Change eort level keys (in Bike, Recline, Synchro, Vario, Step, Top and Crossover)
During the exercise, the + and - keys in the eort level box can be used to change the eort level. The level increases or decreases by 1 unit each time the
key is pressed.
The combination of eort level and speed of movement determines the workload or power expressed in watts. The power value during the exercise can be
checked on the screen.
In the exercises that are driven from a constant workload (speed, power, heart rate), there are also the + and - keys to change the value of the workload.

Hills
The Hills exercise can be found in the On trend category.
Smooth variations around the level you choose: the Hills prole has slight changes in intensity.
Intensity ranges from 85% to 120% of the selected eort level.
It improves aerobic endurance more quickly and increases calorie consumption.
To start this exercise, you must set the duration and eort level.
The minimum duration is 10 minutes.
The age and weight settings are optional.
This prole manages the specic eort level specied by the user, calculated with the tness test. You should therefore do the tness test rst and perform
the exercise at an eort level that is no higher than the recommended one.

Fitness test
The tness test is also suitable for a quite unt or moderately t user.
You need to wear the heart rate monitor to perform the test; if there is no heart rate signal the test does not start.
To start the test, you must enter your age, weight and gender.
The tness test is in three stages; in the warm up stage the workload is determined externally; in the next two stages, the workload is internal, as it is
determined by the heart rate.
