Continuous Watt Mode (Program B)
In Active Program B Mode, the level of Watts generated by the user’s pedaling is fixed—instead
of the resistance level, as with the Manual and Program A Modes. Because Watts are a function
of rpms and resistance level, the two factors will adjust depending on the user’s performance.
Therefore, if the user is pedaling quickly and generating a high number of rpms, the resistance
level will drop. If the user is producing a small number of rpms, the resistance level will raise
proportionately to maintain the designated Watt output.
To start a Continuous Watt session, select <Program B>.
Figure 3.11. Continuous Watt Mode (Program B—exercise time and patient weight
settings).
Set total exercise time and enter user weight. Press NEXT. On the next screen, set the Watt
level for each segment. Press the <Green Arrow> button. During the exercise session, your
medBike will adjust resistance levels automatically to maintain the programmed WATT zone.
