11.1. CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS FOR EXERCISE ROM
ACQUISITION
The exercise ROM acquisition is based on an algorithm, developed by Technogym, in which the
following parameters may be configured to better adapt to the customer’s needs:
• ROM minimum length
This is the minimum stroke the weight stack must carry out in order to calculate the movement
as a repetition.
• Default ROM start
This is the length of the stroke that the weight stack must make from the resting area to enter the
exercise area, due to the mechanics of the individual machine. This movement is normally
carried out using the machine’s pre-start function.
• Default ROM length
This is the default amplitude of the ROM before acquiring the user’s actual ROM, and is used to
correctly fill the ROM LED arc on the display.
• %ROM first rep
This is the percentage of ROM, defined by the parameter “default ROM length”, which is
carried out using the machine’s pre-start function during the first repetition.
11.2. CALCULATING REPETITIONS
Defining a weight stack movement as a stroke between two direction reversals in succession, the
program will consider the movement to be a repetition if:
• Before ROM acquisition:
− it is greater than the value defined by the parameter “ROM minimum length”;
− it is greater than the value defined by the following formula:
( “default ROM length” / 100 ) * “%ROM first rep”
• After ROM acquisition:
− it is greater than the value defined by the parameter “ROM minimum length”;.
