Recommendations about the training location
Safety notes
You should undergo a general medical examination before you start a training program.
You should interrupt immediately the training session if you fill uncomfortable, dizzy or in any way ill during a training
session. Always start a training with a low load and then increase the load gradually. At the end of the training
reduce the load. After the training you should execute a few stretching and gymnastics exercises to relax your
muscles.
Install your training device on a level ground. The device may damage wooden floors. We therefore recommend the
installation of a protective underlay on wooden floors. We also recommend not to in-stall the device on white or light-
coloured carpets or mats because they could be stained by the black colour of the device's feet. We recommend
that the training location be properly aerated to provide enough fresh air, but nevertheless avoid draught.
You can use this device in a temperature range from +10 C to +35 C.
Children should only use this device under supervision and they must be provided with a proper explanation of its
operating principles. This device is not a toy. Please make sure the device is in working order. You should never
train on a defective device. The device may only be used by one person at a time. You should wear appropriate
clothing and shoes while training. The device may only be used if all the parts are firmly attached and no part is
loose. You may only execute the repair operations described in this user manual. Other repair and service

The heart rate displays the heart rate. When only the upward pointing arrow is
displayed in the middle, then this means that the heart rate is too low to ensure
an effective training. Inversely, when only the downward pointing arrow is
displayed then the heart rate is too high. If the arrow starts blinking then the
load is too high and the user should moderate the training.
Speed and distance window: this window shows the actual speed or the
corresponding distance covered. Pressing the control button switches back and
forth between these two values. See also page 5.
The RPM display indicates the velocity in revolutions per minute.
(+ = pedal faster, - = pedal slower).
The graphic screen displays the programs. The load (in watt) is shown on the
scale on the left side of the screen. The training time is shown on the lower axis.
In heart rate controlled programs the system displays 100 beats per minute at
the 200 watt position.
In height profile programs the time axis shows the distance covered, while the
watt axis shows the height profile.

Adjusting the RPM (for the high performance sport domain)
Material wear and deviations of mechanical settings may result in a
discrepancy between the displayed RPM value and real pedalling speed
achieved. We have therefore provided the software with a “RPM adjusting”
function, which you can use to check the displayed RPM values and adjust it
if needed.
Pedal at constant speed (e.g. 60 RPM) for 1 minute
(the clock in window No. 2 will show time progress)
and count the pedal revolutions (measured value).
The following formula gives the setting value:

be very dangerous!
Training in the aerobic zone will always be healthy and safe. This zone is
located at 60% to 75% of the maximum heart rate or of the heart rate limit.
You will always achieve your training target optimally if you train in the appropriate
zone, whether your target is the improvement of your fitness level, the reduction
of your body fat content or the development of muscular mass.
the widely accepted recommendation is to
train at 55% to 65% of the maximum heart rate. This zone
is very well suited for weight loss or for returning users after
an extended interruption due to illness.
Plug the connector on the right side of the dashboard,
attach the clip on the other end of the cable to your ear.
Display window 1 will then display your heart rate after
a short delay.
Apply some water on the inner side of the band to the left and right side of the serration and then fasten it to your
chest firmly to prevent it from sliding off and insuring the electrodes are in direct contact with the skin.
If you have in the room many devices that may interfere with the signals of a wireless heart rate measuring device,
then these devices must be located at a distance of at least 1.5m from the heart rate measuring device. If more than
one wireless heart rate measuring systems are used in the same room then only one of these systems may be
located close to the training device.
For beginner:
Heart rate measure using the ear clip
Heart rate measure using the chest band (optional accessory)
Warning! If you have a heart pacemaker you should consult your physician to find out if you can safely
use the chest band transmitter!

Training in the aerobic heart rate zone
“OK” indicates that you the
user is training within the
aerobic heart rate zone.
Whenever the actual heart rate exceeds that of the alarm zone and the heart rate limit for age / limit heart
rate is set to active (see page 5) the system will give a beep signal and the load will be automatically reduced.
The “ ” indicates training above
the aerobic heart rate zone. A blinking
display indicates reaching the alarm zone.
The “ ” indicates training below

these programs are based on 15 braking levels (1 to 15), and the effort there
is a function of the pedalling speed. The load in watt corresponding to the braking level and speed is

the actual speed multiplied by a factor specific to the program and rounded to 5 watt units.

Every user can create one program of each of the following: watt, heart rate and speed controlled
pro-gram. Users number 1 to 3 can create programs with a duration of up to 60 minutes, user
number 4 can create programs with a duration of up to 240 minutes. Start by choosing the type
of program you want to create. Make copies of the blank diagrams provided at the end of this
user manual (page 42) and use them to design your programs.
Here is, for instance, the procedure to create a watt controlled program:
Select Watt.
Select Modify and start “drawing”.
Turn the control button to the left/right to increase/decrease the height of the bar on the display
until you set the bar to the proper height.
Every drawn bar corres-
ponds to a training duration
of one minute. Display win-
dow No. 2 will show the mi-
nute at which you are now
located.
When you set up this step
(bar) to the required watt
value press the control but-
ton. Repeat the same proce-
dure with the following bars.
Repeat this procedure until
you finish creating your program.
When your program is finished press the function key and answer the question:
“Erase the bars starting here?” Answer “Yes” or “No” (meaning: program ends either after the last value/bar
entered or, if pre-sent, after the last existing value/bar) and select Training.
The same procedure applies also for the modification of an existing personal program.
For heart rate controlled programs you design a heart rate curve instead of a watt curve.
If the heart rate measured during the actual training is below the curve the load will be raised and vice versa.
For speed controlled programs you design a speed curve. When the actual speed during the training is below the curve
the load is reduced and vice versa.

Description
The Conconi test was originally developed for running to control the training intensity and to determine the
performance ability. This test uses the fact that the heart pulse rate increases linearly with the load. This is true
only up to a certain pulse rate and load. The pulse rate curve deviates from the linear if the load is further increased
above this point (see fig. 3 page 18). This deviation point indicates the so-called anaerobic threshold according to
researches by Conconi (for the Conconi test also known as the Conconi threshold).
The anaerobic threshold is the point where the organism produces more lactic acid than it can eliminate. This
means that, from this point, lactic acid starts to accumulate in the body and eventually leads to a load
collapse. The threshold is used to determine the training domains and to evaluate the performance ability
(you will find some practical hints about determining the training domains below).
The main advantage of the Conconi test, as compared to e. g. the lactate performance test, is the small-ness
of the necessary financial, technical and personal investment. At this point we should also mention that the
Conconi test is controversial among many training professionals. It is widely used in Italy and Switzerland.
Others have a critical approach toward the Conconi test for the following reasons:
A maximum loading is necessary when undergoing the test. For this reason it is recommended to pass a
medical examination before taking the test. The Conconi test should only be taken by healthy individuals.
About 20% of all the tests do not show a deviation point. Sometimes the pulse rate increases linearly up to
more than 190 pulses per minute.
Nevertheless, the Conconi test permits an easy and accurate control of the training for many athletes, and an
evaluation of their performance ability.
The Conconi test should in principle starts with an easy start-up program. One of the easier and shorter
warm-up programs should be used here. The pulse rate should not exceed 130 pulses per minute during
warm-up. Since the performance ability of users is widely spread, two special programs are provided for
taking the Conconi test.
begins with a load of 60 watts and is intended for users with lesser training experience, while
is intended for the more capable users. The load is increased by 20 watts every program step for
both programs
You will find a test protocol on page 17. Write down the pulse rate values achieved and the corresponding
load levels (in watt). You can then fill in the values for for the Conconi test (program 45, from 60 to
400 watts) in the upper part of the protocol.
For the higher Conconi test corresponding to (program 46) fill in the heart rate values for load
values of 120 to 700 watts maximum.
The test should be terminated whenever the user feels he reached his maximum load capacity. An overload
should absolutely be avoided!

Evaluating the Conconi test
After the achieved heart rates have been properly recorded in the protocol, you can proceed with the
graphical evaluation of the Conconi Test. Therefore construct a co-ordinate system as shown in
below. The horizontal axis represents the performance in watt, starting with the lowest test value.
For the Conconi test program 45 this value is, for instance, 60 watts. The vertical axis represents
the heart pulse rate for every test step. In the example below the heart rate for the first test step (60 watts)
is around 105 beats per minute, for the second step (80 watts) it is 120 beats per minute, etc.
After all the heart pulse rate points have been represented in the co-ordinate system, proceed with joining
the individual points to form the line representing the linear increasing portion of the curve. In the figure this
is the straight line with the steep slope.
The higher points (higher load steps) will generally lie underneath this line. These points can also be joined
by a straight line as shown in the figure (this is the second line with the lesser slope).
figure 1
(X axis)
(Y axis)
The intersection of these two lines is shown in fig
1 by an arrow.
This intersection point is called the deflection
point and corresponds to the anaerobic Conconi
thresh-old. In fig. 1 this threshold is at 181 beats
per minute. This heart rate is determined by
drawing a straight line parallel to the lower axis
(X axis) starting at the deflection point toward left.
The point where this line intersects with the
vertical Y axis (heart rate) is the point we want to
determine (in our example 181 beats/min.).
The individual training domains can be determined
using the heart rate at the deflection point (in our
example 181 beats/min.) as shown in figure 2. The
heart rate at the deflection point is assigned a value
of 100%.
