reached. The Comp Ready Mode will launch, ready for the next user/competitor.
Exit: To exit the Comp Ready Mode, press the DOWN arrow key for five (5)
seconds to launch the standard Ready Mode. To conserve battery power, the Comp
Ready Mode will time out in thirty (30) minutes and enter the Sleep Mode. When
input is received via rotation of the running belt or input from a console
key, the Comp Ready Mode will launch.
HEART RATE TRAINING
Heart Rate is an Important Key to Your Exercise. The Surgeon General released
a report on physical activity and health stating exercise and fitness are
beneficial for a person’s health and emphasising the need for exercise as a
key component for disease prevention and healthier living. The best way to
determine exercise intensity is to monitor your pulse rate. Heart rate can
easily be monitored by counting the number of heartbeats per minute at the
chest, wrist, or the carotid artery on your neck, however, it is difficult to
do so while exercising. To aid in heart rate training, the ASSAULTBIKE PRO X
console is equipped with a wireless heart rate receiver that can detect an HR
signal being transmitted by a wireless chest strap (optional).
Calculated Maximum Heart Rate
Your target heart rate depends primarily upon your age. It is key to work
within a safe and productive zone. If the exercise intensity is too low or too
high, only modest gains will be made in strength and cardiovascular fitness. A
workout at a very low intensity will not offer maximum benefits. It is
generally perceived that it is most effective to train at a heart rate between
65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. Calculated Maximum Heart Rate is
calculated as a percentage of your Maximum Heart Rate (estimated as 220 Bpm
minus your age). To calculate your Calculated Maximum Heart Rate and the
appropriate target training zone, use the following formulas.
The following estimations are relevant for a 35-year-old user:
- 220 – 35 = 185 BPM (220 – Age = Calculated Maximum Heart Rate in Bpm)
- 0.65 x 185 = 120 BPM (65% of 185 BPM [Calculated Maximum Heart Rate] = 120 Bpm)
- 0.85 x 185 = 157 BPM (85% of 185 BPM [Calculated Maximum Heart Rate] = 157 Bpm)
The recommended heart rate training zone for this user would be between 120 Bpm and 157 Bpm.
Using the Wireless Heart Rate Receiver
In general, a wireless heart rate chest strap is the most accurate and
convenient method of detecting and monitoring a heart rate signal.
Occasionally, certain factors can negatively affect the accurate transmission
of the heart rate signal. Wi-Fi networks, cordless telephones and large
electrical appliances may degrade or corrupt the signal creating an erratic or
impossibly high Bpm. The only remedy for such a symptom is to isolate the unit
from potential disturbances. Additionally, a person’s body chemistry or lack
of perspiration can prevent the chest strap from providing a strong or
accurate heart rate signal. A wireless heart rate receiving system is one
feature found in this unit. For the console to detect and display your heart
rate wirelessly, four (4) conditions must be present:
- A compatible heart rate chest strap transmitter must be functioning and worn. The console requires a dual-band ANT+/Bluetooth
- Low Energy heart rate chest strap. Several manufacturers of dual-band models. For proper function of the chest strap, please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Both the console and heart rate chest strap must be powered on/activated.
- A workout program must be running.
- The ANT+/Bluetooth LE heart rate chest strap is paired to the console. Pairing the Wireless ANT+/Bluetooth LE Heart Rate Transmitter to the ASSAULTBIKE PRO X Console
- There are two ways to connect the ANT+/BTLE heart rate chest strap to the ASSAULTBIKE PRO X console.
- Bluetooth: If monitoring the workout through a compatible mobile device and application, the pairing of the heart rate strap will occur via the Bluetooth radio from within the application. Follow the application instructions which will include turning the Bluetooth radio on in the mobile device, pressing the CONNECT key on the console and selecting the AssaultBike’s unique ID number.
- ANT+: If a mobile device is not used, pairing will occur via the ANT+ radio. Ensure the chest strap is on and worn correctly. Press and hold the CONNECT key for 5 seconds. “ANT+HR” will begin to ash in the alpha-numeric display until the heart rate strap pairs to the console. When paired, the HEART RATE banner will begin to ash and the alpha-numeric display will ash “Connected” followed by “ANT+HR” ash to conrm connection.
