D.2 Training Indicator
The system can calculate and print a training indicator when ergometry is complete. These
training indicators are reflective of the entire circulation response to the performance invoked
by ergometry. This value however only has relevance when it is compared to values from
multiple ergometry sessions of the patient over a period of time. These values are very good
indicators of the patient’s training progress.
The training indicator is calculated by the computer as follows:
training indicator = S - D * HR * M
P
S = maximum systole
D = maximum diastole
HR = maximum heart rate
M = patient’s weight
P = maximum resulting performance
$
The training indicator serves to compare multiple ergometric sessions of
a single patient. This value is not applicable for the comparison of different
patients. Basically, a drop in the value on a patient’s chronologically con-
secutive ergometric sessions is a positive indication of good training
progress.
