stant regardless of your pulse rate

or pedal cadence. This is the most

traditional way in which station-

ary bicycles have been used.

• You set the pulse rate at which

you want to exercise and the

Model EC-3700 automatically ad-

justs pedal resistance to maintain

that pulse rate. This is an ideal ba-

sic form of aerobic training.

• The following eight types of

mountain profiles plus one cus-

tomized pattern are programmed.

• On the model EC-3700, 3 patterns

of interval training programs are

preset for developing dashing

power, speed, or your stamina re-

spectively, PLUS one customized

pattern for you to input your per-

sonal program.

• In isopower training, you set the

desired work intensity in watts.

The Model EC-3700 automati-

cally adjusts the pedal resistance

(kg·m) depending on your pedal

cadence (rpm), so as to keep a

constant work rate in watts.

Torque setting range:

0.5~4.0 kg·m

Minimum graduation:

0.1 kg·m

• As you repeat the exercise at a

certain pulse rate and make

progress in your fitness level, you

will be able to create a greater

work intensity under the same

pulse rate. Further, you will be

able to try exercising at a higher

target pulse rate.

fer to pages 40 and 41.)

During the exercise period (in-

creased load portion of interval),

you should pedal with your greatest

effort, then you should pedal slower

• Have you ever been out of breath after climbing a flight of stairs or

after a brisk walk? When we are walking, running and even sleeping,

our body is taking in oxygen and generating energy. Oxygen taken in

by the lungs is sent to the entire body via the circulatory system. If the

function of the circulatory system , i.e. aerobic power, is insufficient,

we may experience being "out of breath" or experience yet other

physical problems.

• Maximum Heart Rate

The heart rate increases according to the intensity of exercise, there is

however a limit. The maximum heart rate that a person can sustain is

called the "maximum heart rate". Generally the heart rate declines as we

get older, this differs however between individuals, and is largely due to

how much one exercises.

• Difference Between the Heart Rate and Pulse Rate

The heart rate is the rate of the heart beat per minute measured by an

electrocardiograph. On the other hand, the pulse rate is measured as fol-

lows.

• We therefore perform "sports for the heart" (aerobic exercise), which

causes the heart to work a little more a few times a week, thus increas-

ing the oxygen supply to the body via the circulatory system. The pur-

pose of exercise with the Ergociser is to improve both your physical

strength and the functioning of the circulatory system: to improve our

aerobic power.

1)By palpating an artery near the skin surface, such as the carotid artery,

measure the pulse count of a blood vessel.

2)Transmit a sensor light to an earlobe or finger tip, and measure the

pulse count via the subtle changes of the sensor light transmission

caused by the heart beat.

Exercise Plan

• To effectively perform "sports for the heart" and to improve your

aerobic power, it is necessary to exercise according to your age and

physical fitness. If exercise exceeds your physical fitness level you only

injure your body. On the other hand, if the exercise is insufficient, a

positive effect cannot be expected.

TARGET

ZONE

Although the measurement principle and method are different, both the

heart and pulse rates have the same value per minute, and are therefore

regarded as synonymous.

• The Ergociser EC-3700 has 6 types of computer-controlled programs.

One program is the "Aerobic Power Measurement Program". This test

program evaluates your physical fitness level, while the other 5 pro-

grams are for actual exercise.

Since earlobes move very little during exercise and are not influenced

very much by physical movement, it is appropriate to use an earlobe to

measure the pulse rate during exercise. The Ergociser EC-3700 therefore

measures the pulse rate by detecting changes in the circulation of the ear-

lobe.

100

• The "Aerobic Power Measurement Program" evaluates your physical

fitness level so that you can determine the training index and begin

exercise based on the measured result. After exercising for a while

(about 3 months), you become aware of the effect on your body. Test

your physical fitness level again and gradually set a higher training in-

dex, thus maintaining and improving your physical fitness level. A spe-

cial feature of the Ergociser™ EC-3700 is that it combines testing with

exercise.

• Pulse Limit

As a standard maximum heart rate, "220–Age", "204–0.69 x Age", etc.

are used. With the Ergociser EC-3700, a somewhat lower value is used:

"200–Age". This pulse limit allows a person to safely exercise.

AGE

• Target Pulse Rate

The pulse rate to maintain during exercise as a target is called the "target

pulse rate". In the "Auto training" program, this pulse rate is automati-

cally maintained. However, even with other programs, always be con-

scious of your target pulse rate during exercise. Refer to the illustration

on the left.

Aerobic Power Measurement

Exercise Planning

Exercise

• Exercise Level Based on the Pulse Rate

The pulse rate increases according to the intensity of the exercise. In

other words, the pulse rate during exercise is a barometer for the exercise

level. The exercise level can be determined in percentages by the follow-

ing formula.

Note : You could also decide your

target pulse rate more simply by

deducting your age from a certain

figure. For a beginner, for in-

stance, it is recommendable to

start with [160–age (approx.

30~50% depending on your age)],

and gradually proceed to higher

level such as [180–age (approx.

50~70% )]. It would be ideal to

aim at [190–age] eventually.

Exercise Frequency and Time

• At least 15 minutes are required for one exercise period, however if

possible a 20 ~ 30 minute period is even better.

Pulse rate during exercise – Pulse rate at rest

Exercise Level (% ) =

x 100

Maximum heart rate – Pulse rate at rest

Therefore, if you want to discern the target of the exercise level from the

pulse rate (target pulse rate), you can calculate as follows.

• To maintain your present condition, exercise at lease twice a week, 3

times a week would improve your condition even more. The ideal how-

ever is to exercise every day or 5 ~ 6 times a week.

Target pulse rate = (maximum heart rate – pulse rate at rest)

level according to 5 levels and, it also evaluates your maximum oxygen up-

take with an estimated value. Based on the result, you can choose your own

training level (program type and exercise intensity) from the following in-

dex.

• Depending on the physical fitness level and purpose, some people may

exercise at a higher pulse limit than the value calculated by age. In such

instances, set the pulse limit slightly higher, being conscious of your own

physical condition.

Automatic Training

• In this program, the exercise intensity is set by the target pulse rate (beats

per minute: bpm). Select your target pulse rate from the following table,

based on your age and physical fitness level (PFL) from 1 to 5.

• If you select the stamina aerobic power development pattern (TLD 3),

maintain your pulse rate in the 60 ~ 80% range of the illustration on page

22 ~ 23.

• If the target you select is difficult, reduce the target pulse rate by 10 bpm.

You need not work hard from the beginning, continuing is most important.

Aerobic power measurement (2)

Physical Fitness Level (PFL)

Test Protocol

• There are five physical fitness levels: 1 ~ 5. These levels are relative

evaluations that compare your maximum oxygen uptake (MOU), esti-

mated by the aerobic power measurement program, with the values of

other people of the same age and sex (Physical Fitness Level Test Table).

• In the "Aerobic power measurement" program of the EC-3700, the

workload (pedal resistance: torque) for the subsequent stage is deter-

mined depending on your pulse rate at the previous stage. The workload

(pedal resistance: torque) will be increased along one of the routes illus-

trated below, depending on your pulse rate ™during the program.

• Ergociser™ EC-3700 stores the following physical fitness level test table,

which can be selected by the selector switch on the back panel of the con-

trol unit. (See page 8)

• The pulse rates specified below represent the protocol for a person of 20

years. For the people over 20, the borderline of pulse rate will be adjusted

by the age adjustment coefficient (K), which is obtained by the following

formula:

• In the Ergociser™ EC-3700 "Aerobic power measurement" program the

weight of the pedals are changed at 3 levels, and the pulse rate at the end

point of each level is measured. Based on the result, the relationship be-

tween the work rate (wattage) and the pulse rate is analyzed by linear

regression. Extend the regression line until reaching the maximum heart

rate (=204–0.69 x age) which is estimated by age. The work rate (wattage)

of this point becomes the maximum physical work capacity.

Function of wireless chestbelt sensor

The wireless chestbelt sensor is a simplified and compact electrocar-

diograph as widely used in hospitals on the same principle. At hospi-

tals, electrodes are attached to several parts of the body, and a cardio-

gram is determined on the basis of potential differences among those

electrodes. The chestbelt sensor picks up the heart rate more simply

through potential difference between two electrodes built-in there

and in contact with the body.
