Hill and
Interval
Programs
Just like manual control, the hill and interval programs
compensate for different body
weights.
The two hill programs are:
• Rolling Hills, a series of
gently changing workloads.
• One Big Hill, with the
workload gradually
increasing to a maximum
at the halfway point, then
decreasing gradually to the
end.
The two interval programs are:
• Easy intervals, with a
moderate change between
work and rest intervals.
• Sport intervals, with a large
change between work and
rest intervals.
Each workout segment can
have a value between 1 and
8. The overall workout can be
adjusted to 16 possible levels.
The workload level of a work
-
out segment is calculated by
the formula.
METs = (scaler1 * segment) *
(scaler2 * level) + 2
METs are then converted to
T-Mets.
Scaler1 and scaler2 are math
-
ematical formulas which
subtly change the scale and
magnitude of both the seg
-
ment and level variables.
The constant “2” is simply the
minimum METs level control
-
lable by the bike.
