Relax-Function
The relax-function is a biofeedback-process that is measured over the electrical
resistance of the skin. Biofeedback is thus the translation into perceptible signals
of physiological processes occurring in our body whose values are indicated by
means of optical signals.
The ergo_bike controls the relaxation process by means of the relax-function,
and highlights the process of stress elimination after a physical fitness training
or other loading.
The displayed relax value drops gradually with increasing relaxation level and
increases with the increase of stress level. You can assist this process by getting
off the device and sit in a relaxed position, or even lay down, close to the
ergo_bike and calm down.
Fitness Test and Fitness Mark
The fitness test can be executed anytime during training. A pulse rate measuring
device (pulse sensor, ear clip, or chest strap) must be connected and functional,
and the training should had already started at least 10 minutes earlier.
The measurement principle is based on the fact that the pulse rate falls faster
within one minute (following a load period) for well-trained users than for less
trained users. Fitness marks from 1 to 6 are assigned. The lower the fitness
mark the better is the training status (fitness) of the user.
When the fitness test is started during training, the present training will be
interrupted and the load will be lowered to minimum value for the device for a
short period of time. During this pause the system measures the drop in pulse
rate within a period of 60 seconds and computes a fitness mark. Afterwards the
training resumes automatically at the interrupted position, and the load in Watt
is raised to its previous value.
