HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
After first reading the "Start Guide, " assemble the machine and give the Model EC-C400R Ergometor type Cat eye Fitness a try. Once you've become accustomed to the machine, read the "Operation Guide" and experiment with the EC-C400R's wealth of functions. Make use of the "Reference Guide" as needed.

Caution: · If the pedal cadence is not detected for five seconds, a fitness test measurement cannot be carried out. · If your pulse rate exceeds the upper pulse limit, "STOP EXERCISE" blinks in the display and the fitness test finishes forcibly. Reference: A maximum of 10-minutes' worth of data can be displayed. After 10 minutes, 5-minutes' worth of exercise graph scrolls to the left.

· When the five minute phase has elapsed or when the button has been pressed, the cool-down phase ends and the fitness test finishes. The exercise progression at the end of the fitness test appears in the display. A: "Time", "PFL", and "MOU" from the top B: "Time", "Calories", and "PWC max.

FITNESS TEST (2)
Physical Fitness Level (PFL)
· There are five physical fitness levels: 1 ~ 5. These levels are relative evaluations that compare your maximum oxygen uptake (MOU), estimated by the Fitness test program, with the values of other people of the same age and sex (Physical Fitness Level Test Table).

Maximum Oxygen Uptake (MOU)
· MOU is widely used as an index for total physical endurance. MOU indicates the amount of oxygen one can intake at the limit of their physical work capacity. In the EC-C400R Ergometer, MOU is calculated based on the maximum physical work capacity (PWC max. ) explained below, assuming that 1 litre of oxygen corresponds to 5. 0 Kcal, and the human body efficiency rate for a bicycle exercise is 23%
Maximum Physical Work Capacity (PWC max. )
· In the EC-C400R Ergometer "Fitness test" 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 between 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. safely estimates how much exercise is possible at the limit of physical work capacity, that is, at maximum heart rate without performing actual exercise.

Test Protocol
· In the "Fitness test" program of the EC-C400R Ergometer, the workload (pedal resistance: torque) for the subsequent stage is determined depending on your pulse rate at the previous stage. The workload (pedal resistance: torque) will be increased along one of the routes illustrated below, depending on your pulse rate TMduring the program. · 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: 204 - 0. 69 x Age 204 - 0. 69 x 20 · For people over 60 years, the coefficient (K) is calculated as 60. K= Male
