The Hill Profile diagram shows the most intense effort levels and those less fatiguing that may be
overcome during the exercise. More or less intense efforts are simulated on the console display by
light columns that are displayed in the Diagram window. Such columns move from left to right
during the training. Higher the light columns are, harder is the effort imposed.
FREE PROFILES
Use this menu to create one of 50 free profiles memorized. Digit the number of profile and set up
speed, time and inclination of each of 20 steps. Pushing Stop/C key when speed is requested, the
setting up is stopped and the already set up steps are saved.
TEST
In order to get the most reliable data, strictly follow these suggestions:
- Make the test approximately at the same time of the day;
- Sleep sufficiently during the night;
- Eat the last meal at least 3 hours before the test;
- Wear comfortable clothes;
- Avoid smoking, drinking coffee or alcoholic drinks, taking medicines that may affect the result
of the test;
- Relax before starting the test;
- We suggest women doing test far from menstrual period.
All three tests available, CHR, CWL and RUNNER, should be done only with the assistance of a
cardiologist in possession of emergency equipments (defibrillator, first aid kit with Kit AMBU).
These are theoretical tests therefore, we decline all responsibility for the result and the interpretation
of the values if not made by a specialist. It is also important to underline that the test results are
obtained in sub maximal indirect way, therefore it is suggested con take into consideration the
comparison of the test results of the same subject in different periods in order to estimate any
possible improvement.
The first two tests (CHR and CWL Test) have a preset length of 5 minutes. The interval among the
following test should be recommended by the trainer. The purpose of both tests is to check the body
shape of the user. At the end of both tests, besides the numeric result, also a writing will appear,
indicating if the body shape is improving, if it is stable or decreasing.
The third test (Runner Test) is a growing loads test that is with three main phases: warming up,
increasing and recovery. The last two are very important to test the body shape of the user.
CHR test (Constant Heart Rate) is a test where the heart rate is kept constant during the space of
the work protocol. The speed will be adjusted in way that the heart rate will keep constant during the
test. If after 2-3 months the speed is being increased reaching the same heart rate, it means that the
user has improved his shape level.
CWL test (Constant Work Level) is test where the speed is kept constant during the space of the
work protocol. Therefore the user will be submitted to a certain speed (fixed on the basis of his
weight and age) that will remain constant for the duration of the test. The aim is to monitor heart rate
value finding a curve that increases in the first work phases, becomes stable for a time limit and
slowly increases by training. Longer the heart rate remains constant, better is the condition of the
user. If after 2-3 months the heart rate is being decreased reaching the same speed, it means that the
user has improved his shape level.
