THE 4 KINDS OF PROGRAMS
HR control training (Training at a set pulse rate)
• You set a target pulse rate at which you want to exercise and the Model EC-T220
automatically adjusts the incline to maintain your pulse rate close to the desired
level. This is ideal for effective aerobic training.
• As you continue to exercise at a certain pulse rate and make progress in your fitness
level, you will be able to exercise more easily at the same pulse rate. Consequently,
you will then be able to exercise at a higher target pulse rate.
Reference: The "HR" of HR training means "heart rate" (the same as pulse rate).
Interval training (Repetition of a pattern of exercise and rest,
tailored for a serious workout)
• By switching back and forth between exercise and rest periods of varying length,
interval training gives you the kind of program that serious athletes often use to build
up their total power.
• On the model EC-T220, 3 patterns of interval training programs are available for
developing sprint power, speed, and endurance respectively.
PRF-1: dash strength training (sprint power)
30 seconds of exercise followed by a 90-second rest.
PRF-2: speed training (anaerobic power)
60 seconds of exercise followed by a 120-second rest.
PRF-3: endurance training (aerobic power)
120 seconds of exercise followed by a 60-second rest.
• Choose one of the above patterns, and adjust the intensity by selecting your desired
speed and incline.
