Fitness Test
The fitness assessment protocol is built into this console. Bike version protocol is based on YMCA fitness
test protocol and Elliptical version is based on PRT protocol. They are widely used by fitness experts.
●U1000/R1000 Bike version: The program is tested base on the heart rate condition at 50 rpm range.
Heart rate signal must be valid throughout the test to calculate the score. It is critical to maintain the
speed at 50 rpm range, then the console will adjust level automatically according to the protocol to
raise your heart rate. Depending on how soon your heart rate reaches 85% max, the computer will
calculate & present a test score. Pause function is not allowed with this test, therefore if there is no
valid heart rate signal or stop pedaling before the test is completed, the test will fail.
14

●E1000/E1200 Elliptical version: The Program is tested with a preset 12-minute goal. The protocol is
measured how fast and how much resistance you can do in this period, the higher watts you can
maintain thru the program, the higher score you will get. Pause function is not allowed with this test,
therefore if you stop pedaling before the test is completed, the test will fail.
HRC Programs
The Heart Rate programs are designed to keep you training at the chosen heart rate level. These
programs will only work when there is a valid heart rate signal. It is recommended to use wireless
heart rate chest strap rather than hand grip pulse sensors for these programs. There are Target, HR
interval, Fat Burn and Cardio programs. Follow the on-screen messages to select your HR program as
well as program settings. Please note that Fat Burn & Cardio programs are defaulted with 65% & 80%
target heart rate respectively and therefore their target heart rates setting can’t be changed.
These programs will start with a 3-minute warm up period which user will be able to adjust the level. After
warm-up, the heart rate program begins, the console will take control and adjust the level automatically to
ensure your target heart rate is achieved and maintained during the entire program. You may still adjust the
target HR during exercise by pressing the “+/-“keys.
Virtual Scenes
There are four Tropical, Beaches, Forests & Mountains scenic landscape videos built in to bring your run to
the outdoor experience virtually. You may select to sync your speed with the video playing speed or just
viewing a video along the way of your run. Every part of the program works the same way as other programs
as you can adjust level anytime during the exercise; however, the profile display will be replaced with scenic
video.
Please note: Each video is 60 minutes long with normal playing speed. If you synchronize the video speed
with your run speed or you are running more than 60 minutes, the video will be repeated.
