Programs Overview
Target Heart Rate (THR) (T5
XR
Only)
This program adjusts exercise
workload to keep the user’s heart
rate within a target heart rate range.
The user enters their THR before the
workout begins. The target heart
rate range is calculated based on the
following equation: [THR = (220 -
age) * X%]. The exercise intensity
is controlled by the “X%” variable.
The “X%” lower limit is .50 and the
upper limit is .85. The target heart
rate equation and range limits are
based on guidelines of the American
College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
and the American Heart Association
(AHA). The user can adjust the
THR parameter at any time during
the workout. The warm up phase
lasts until the user gets to within ~
10 beats of their target beats per
minute (BPM). Note: A heart rate
transmitter belt must be worn when
using this program.
Consult physician for THR
range guidance.
CAUTION
Constant Speed (Isokinetic) (T5
XR
Only)
This program helps users workout at
a constant stepping speed. The user
enters the desired steps per minute
(SPM) before the workout begins.
The program adjusts the workload
to keep the user’s SPM speed at a
constant rate. If the user’s stepping
speed exceeds the SPM parameter,
the workload increases. If the user’s
stepping speed falls below the SPM
parameter, the workload decreases.
The user may increase or decrease
SPM anytime during the workout.
Note, at very fast or very slow speeds,
the program does its best to keep a
user at a constant stepping speed,
but there is a limit to its capability,
and pop-up messages will notify the
user at these extremes.
