according to the Watt figure. If the figure is under
the target value, the tension difficulty will be up-
adjusted one level every 30 seconds, up to the
maximum level 16. As soon as you achieved the
set value, tension difficulty will be down adjusted
one level immediately. In case of overspec the
level will be down adjusted one level
immediately, and keep down-adjusting each 15
seconds until you reach the preset value.

Training Instructions

If you have not been physically active for a
long period of time and also to avoid health
risks you should consult your general
physician before starting to exercise.

Everyone, or almost everyone, is fascinated by the
champions/athletes among us. We dream away
when we have one look at a trained body, full of
muscles, in movement, and hope that one day we
also have an athletic body like that. It’s then that we
realize that exceptional performances need
exceptional talents, but also daily training, well
organized and planned within the smallest detail.

If we compare the genetic inheritance of great
athletes to the genetic inheritance of the sporty
amateur in general, we only can determine small
deviations, which can’t explain the difference in
performances.

However if we compare the trainings, we do see
great differences. In general, athletes on a higher
level do not only had years of training, they also
benefit from the help of a professional coach and
have adapted their lives to their physical condition.
Their training program is outlined and planned within
the smallest detail and is being regularly evaluated in
order to check if the preset goals are being achieved.

The sporty amateur who wants to improve his
performances usually starts training without a plan.
Sometimes he copies the training program of a well
known athlete. This usually slows down his progress
and often leads to strain the muscles and sometimes
the cardio-vascular system. A special, optimal
training program, suitable for everyone, would be
wishful.

The incredible complexity and the different adapting
processes which our body has to go through every
training, don’t allow us to use such a training
program. Whether you train on muscle development,
power, endurance, speed, flexibility or a better
coordination of your movements, everyone starts with
different initial conditions.

The goal of each training program is to improve your
performances. You don’t need to become a top
athlete, you also can train to lose weight or just to
feel better. The optimal performance can be for
example, run 5 minutes longer than before at the
same tempo and without interruption, or do more
push-ups than the day before.

The research on the influence of a sporty training on
our body has made lot of progress in the last several
years. Even if some questions are still unanswered,
the knowledge we achieved from the sporty science
and related fields, have proven their use in practice
and serve in the first place our top athletes. This
