Heart Rate
The heart rate measurement is based on electrical impulses registered from the heart, whereas pulse meters measure peripheral circulation e.g. via an ear clip or a handgrip to calculate the pulse rate. If you use a heart rate controlled exercise program or if the heart rate value is of importance to you, Tunturi recommends using a transmitter belt for continuous heart rate measurement. Pulse measurement is in principle equally accurate, but functionally more limited and for some users unreliable way of measurement.

Resting heart rate The human heart beats about 60 times per minute at rest. As a result of exercising, the heart grows larger and stronger, and the resting heart rate slows down. Usually a low resting heart rate and the slow rise of the heart rate under strain indicates a body in good condition.

Maximum heart rate Maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate achieved under maximal workload. The maximum heart rate (HRmax) is personal and largely determined by genotype - it does not reflect the condition of the person. The maximum heart rate cannot be affected by exercising, but as a result of exercising the workload that can be achieved at the maximum heart rate grows. The maximum heart rate will decline with age. At the maximum heart rate, you will reach the maximal oxygen uptake VO2max that is generally considered the best measure of aerobic fitness.

Handgrip pulse is also an easy method for measuring the pulse. It does not require any additional devices, the measuring sensors are an integral part of the product. The pulse measurement is effected by touching the two sensors in the handlebar simultaneously. Handgrip measurement requires that the skin is constantly touching the sensors and that the skin is slightly moist.

Pre-set training profiles

In the pre-set training profiles, the changes of training intensity will take place automatically - this makes training interesting and motivating. Furthermore, Tunturi have carefully designed the pre-set training profiles for various exercise targets, and they give maximum effect towards the desired exercise target. In brief, the greatest benefit of the pre-set profiles is that they make effective training very easy.

In cycles and ellipticals, Tunturi uses another three profile modes:

1. Watt (or power) profiles in which the training intensity is pre-set in watts (W); in display, the higher the profile, the higher the intensity in watts. In these profiles the wattage is independent of the pedaling speed (rpm).
2. Resistance profiles in which the training intensity is pre-set in Newton meters (Nm). In these profiles the torque, i.e. the power needed to turn the cranks is pre-set. Again, the higher the displayed profile, the higher the intensity. However, the pedaling effect is the same as with a single-speed bicycle – the faster you pedal, the higher the output power (= intensity / watts). In other words, in these profiles the wattage is dependent of the pedaling speed (rpm).
3. Heart rate controlled profiles in which the profile shows the run of heart rate during the exercise.
