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.
For treadmills, Tunturi have developed three different profile modes:
1. Speed / elevation –profiles in which both speed and elevation change as pre-set. These profiles make for comfortable and easy training.
2. Rolling hills –profiles in which the elevation profile is pre-set and the speed is manually adjusted. These profiles are the runners’ choice.
3. Heart rate controlled profiles in which the profile shows the run of heart rate during the exercise. These profiles provide an efficient approach to long term motivation.
In cycles, 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.
