Recovery Test:
RecoveryTest shows how quickly your heart recovers from an exercise state
to a more restful state. Improved recovery is an indicator of increasing fitness.
For the console to perform the RecoveryTest, two things must happen. You
must press the RECOVERY button, AND, the console must be displaying
your heart rate. When both of these situations occur, then the console will
perform the RecoveryTest.
The console will show "01:00 STOP" and the time will begin to count
down. Stop exercising but continue to grip the heart rate sensors. After 5
seconds, the display will show "00:55 RELAX" and will continue to count
down to 00:00. For the entire minute the console will also show your heart
rate. You must grip the heart rate sensors for the duration of the test.
The display will continue to show "RELAX" and your heart rate until the clock
counts down to 00:00. The console will then calculate your recovery score.
Recovery Score =Your heart rate at 1:00 (the beginning of the test) minus
your heart rate at 00:00 (the end of the test)
The display will show "SCORE (Recovery Score}". This will remain on the
display for 5 seconds; then you can press RESULTS to view a summary of
your workout and end the program you are working out in, or press START
to resume working out where you left off.
The higher the RecoveryTest score value, the quicker your heart rate is returning
to a more restful state and is an indication of improving fitness. By recording
these values over time you can see the trend toward better health!
When you press the RECOVERY button and there is no heart rate signal
or display, the console will show "NEED HR" and the HEART RATE ICON
