Program Overview
The Heart rate Control program is interactive. By selecting a predetermined heart rate, the treadmill will
adapt the elevation and speed to keep the user’s heart rate at that level. This program is exceptionally
useful for those individuals just starting out as well as the athlete. By maintaining the predetermined heart
rate, the user is less likely to over or under exert themselves thereby ensuring they get all they should
out of their training. Over time, the user will notice that as their fi tness level improves and using a given
time and heart rate that they will see more ground covered, more calories burned and a higher MET level
during the program.
A MET is a basic unit of measurement that is used to compare relative work between individuals and
activities. One MET is the amount of oxygen an individual consumes at rest. If an individual were working
at four METs, he/she would be consuming oxygen at a rate equal to four times their resting consumption
METs can be used to compare walking on a grade with running or even to cycling and other activities.
