Programs Overview
Constant Power (T5
XR
Only)
This program allows users to workout
at a constant effort. The user enters
the desired watts level or METs level
before the workout begins. This
program adjusts workload in response
to the users stepping speed and step
length to keep the user’s watt or MET
levels at a constant rate. If the user’s
stepping speed and force result in
watt/MET levels beyond the specifi ed
input, workload level decreases. If
the user’s stepping speed and force
result in watt or MET levels below
the specifi ed input, workload level
increases. The user may adjust the
watts/METs parameter at anytime
during the workout. Note: there are
pop-ups that alert the user if they
are going too fast and creating more
power than the specifi ed input or if
they are going too slow and creating
less power than the specifi ed input.
Exercise Protocol (T5
XR
Only)
These exercise protocol programs
are designed to be administered in
a clinical setting. If these programs
are enabled, the protocols make
incremental watt changes every two
minutes in a constant power mode for
eight stages.
• mTBRS-XT protocol is for
sedentary individuals and stroke
patients.
1
• TBRS-XT protocol is for healthy
individuals aged 18-45.
2
To enable these programs, they have
to be turned on in Manager Mode
under the Exercise Protocol selection.
Use of this protocol
requires medical
supervision and
compliance with exercise
testing guidelines.
