General
The operating principle of pulse
-
steady
-
state
-
programs is to regulate the capacity of the
ergometer in such a way that the pulse rate of the patient selected with th
e ergometer is
being set.
The ergometer increases the load at the set limit by a gentle ramp program in 1 W
-
steps
with an increasing speed of 30 W / min, until the set pulse rate is achieved.
Then the pulse rate of
±
3 heart beats / minute is maintained
constantly through the
complete traing period by an automatic load modification.
The following diagram shows the major characteristics of pulse steady state programs
( PSST ).
Note:
The use of ECG signals or polar receivers for the determination of th
e current pulse rate
is a basic requirement for the use of PSST programs.
