settings. The exercise is recorded and information is gathered to File until you stop the
exercise.
For further information on how to plan sessions with the software, and then transfer them to your
training computer, see software help.
Functions During Exercise
You can change the same settings in a programmed exercise as in any other exercise type. For further
information on different functions during exercise, see Button Functions During Exercise.
The programmed exercise uses the sport profile settings set in the software. If you change the training
computer settings during exercise (e.g. calibration factor), the changes will only apply to the current
exercise. Next time you start the same exercise, the training computer will use the sport profile
settings defined in the software.

or DOWN and select with OK. The contents of the lap menu depend on your exercise.

Jump to: Move to any other phase in your exercise.
