After the goal has been reached, an audible
signal will sound and the Results screen will
appear.
The training has now ended.
Note the results and record them on the
results form if desired (see appendix).

10.4.4 Heart-rate training (HRT programmes)
• Read the instructions in sections 4 and 7 thoroughly.
• Ensure that the heart-rate monitor (Sigma belt) is fitted properly.
• If you experience nausea, dizziness or increasing chest pain, immediately stop the training and consult a
doctor.
• Before a heart-rate training session, the doctor/therapist must instruct the patient in the use of this function.
• With the use of the Sigma chest strap, there must be sufficient distance (min. 1.5 m) between different
users. If this is not the case, the heart rate shown may not be accurate as a result of interference.
• Do not activate an HRT programme if interference is noted or suspected.
For heart-rate training, a heart-rate belt MUST be connected (see: Use of the chest strap).
If this is not the case, a message on the screen will draw the user’s attention to this fact (see figure 20).
The user will automatically be shown a message once a heart-rate signal has been received (figure 21).
Figure 20 Figure 21
HRT (Heart-Rate controlled Training) means that the heart rate is automatically kept within the same Target
Training Zone by means of adjustments to the speed and/or inclination.
The user’s current heart rate is shown continuously on the display.
The Target Training Zone is calculated on the basis of the formula: 220 – age*. This provides the max. HR
(theoretical maximum heart rate). The heart-rate training will be carried out at a specific percentage of the max.
HR. This percentage depends on the selected training goal (weight loss or condition improvement). For weight
loss, the zone is between 65% and 75% of the max. HR (see figure 22). For condition improvement, the zone is
between 75% and 85% (see figure 23). The indicator (orange arrow) shows the centre of the zone and can be
adjusted at will (up or down) using the central controller.
