3 Marketing Statement Regarding Heart Rate Acquisition on the Star Trac Spinning ® Computer: Star Trac takes the acquisition and accuracy of heart rate very seriously and has developed a system to perform to the best ability that technology will allow.
4 3) Riders must lean into the display (within 16 inches) and wait for the HR to display – once the HR is displayed they must maintain the forward Position for 15 seconds while the computer codes with their Polar Coded Strap , this insures that no outside signals will interfere with the riders data once they lean back into their seated position.
5 Computer: Heart Rate Range : Approximately 30” From c omputer to users HR chest strap Battery : Qt y 4 each AA Alkaline Battery life expectancy : 1 year (depending on use and backlight usage) Cadence Sensor : Battery : Lithium CR2032 Battery life expectancy : A pproximately 2.
6 How does the Spinning computer work? The Spinning computer displays heart rate, RPM ( speed), total distance and elapsed time. • The heart rate information is received from a Polar © T61, Polar © T31C or Polar © WearLink ® heart rate strap worn by the person riding the Spinning Bike.
7 Start pedaling then press any button to turn on the Spinning ® Computer ; the f ollowing data will be displayed: HR - Displays the Heart Rate of the user when wearing a compatible Polar ® HR telemetry strap in beats per minute. RPM - Shows the pedaling speed of the user in r evolutions p er m inute.
8 Time required: 5 Minutes Parts required: 4 new AA a lkaline batteries Tools required: Slotted or Phillips s crewdriver Note: The batte ries in the computer will last approximately 1 year depending on usage. The cadence sensor battery will last approximately 2.
9 N ote the directions each batter y is to be installed. There is a plus (+) and minus ( - ) symbol inside the battery compartment. The + sign indicates the positive (+) side on the battery and the - indicates the negative ( - ) side on the battery. Insert each of the 4 batteries into the battery compartment of the computer.
10 : Syncing will not improve Heart Rate and is not a calibration it should only be used to Sync (Pair up) the cadence sensor and the computer so that RPM can be transmitted.
11 Time required: Less then 5 Minutes Parts required: N/A Tools required: N/A TES T Procedure: Once the batteries are installed, press any button and the display window will turn on in the Workout mode. Test by waving a magnet across the cadence sensor.
12 Syncing Process: Tools required: Coin ( p enny, dime, etc.) or similar item to remove battery cover Steps to Syncing: Removing the battery lid on the back side of the Spinning ® Computer and insert or replace the 4 AA batteries. 2. Once the batteries are installed, press any button and the display window will go into the orkout mode.
13 4. Place the battery back in the cadence upside down to reset the system. Do not put the lid back on yet. Battery facing u pside down → Batter y facing ← right side up 5. Activate Sync Mode on the computer by hold ing down the Light and Toggle b utton s for several seconds until the window displays “Conn“ Sync Mode window 6.
14 8. With the computer window still disp laying “Conn” hold the magnet about 1 /2 inch ( 1.2 cm) away from the edge of the cadence sensor with the large arrow pointing towards the magnet. Wave the magnet back and forth several times until the window on the computer displays a random ID number (e.
15 Spinning ® C omputer is pre - set with a gear ratio 2 and a setting display distance in miles. It is also pre - set with recommended default settings for the length of time the backlight will stay on when activated and the length of time summary information will be display ed.
16 • Units - MILES or KM Note: User will not get the correct RPM values if the Gear Ratio setting is not correct. (Default Setting) • BLON – (Default Back Light On * ) T he amount of time the backlight will stay on when the left button is pressed.
17 • UH – (Usage Hours) Total operation time in hou rs of display since the last data clearing. Press the Light (left) button to clear data, if desired, then press Toggle (right) button to accept and advance to the next setting . • ODO – Total M iles / KM Total traveled distance in miles or KM since the last data clearing.
18 Before the cadence sensor is securely fastened to the flywheel support , it must be adjusted so that it is about 5 mm (.20 in) from the magnet face. Install the magnet on the flywheel so that it aligns with the arrow on the end of the cadence sensor.

25 Instructor Educat ion Cadence, Resistance And Intensity : Understanding the relationship between cadence, resistance and intensity is the key to Spinning® program classes that meet training goals.
26 Energy Zones™ : The Spinning Energy Zones are the foundation of heart rate training in the Spinning® program. Each Energy Zone ™ is a type of training based on exercise intensity (indicated by heart rate). Energy Zone ™ Intensity Range Purpose covery 50% to 65% of MHR Relaxation and energy accumulation.
27 CADENCE FUNDAMENTALS What Is Cadence? Cadence is defined as the number of times the pedals revolve per minute, also known as RPM f revolutions per minute. The safest, most efficient and most realistic cadences are 80 – 110 RPM for a flat road and 60 – 80 RPM for a hill.
28 It Good To Pedal Faster Than 110 RPM ? Those who have a high power to resistance ratio may occasionally attain these leg speeds. This means they have the ability to overcome resistance through strength and speed.
29 It’s not dangerous to exceed 80 RPM on a hill, but for extended periods it will likely raise the rider’s intensity too high and won’t achieve the strength benefits of climbing. It is all right t o exceed 80 RPM for brief periods, such as in a standing climb for the last 10 - 20 seconds.
30 ips For Choosing An Appropriate Cadence And Resistance : • Warm - Up. The first ten minutes of a Spinning ride are critica l for establishing proper cadence. With no resistance during warm - up, one may tend to pedal too quickly thus raising the heart rates prematurely.
31 Relationship B etween Cadence And Resistance : Cadence, resistance and intensity are interrelated. For any given intensity, there is a correlated cadence and resistance combination.
32 4. Find a tough climb without exceeding 85% MHR . Continue adding resistance until one feel s the need to rise o ut of the saddle in a standing climb. (Outdoors, cyclists stand on a climb when the road becomes steeper.) Maintain a cadence of 70 – 75 RPM .
33 Next, add a little hill while maintaining the same intensity. Remain seated and ride a progressively steeper hill by gradually adding resistance every 3 - 4 minutes. Try to maintain the same intensity of 80%. In order to do so, one will have to slow his/her legs down as the hill becomes steeper.
34 Ladders : Ladders are a progressive increase or decrease in one of the following variables: cadence, resistance or intensity. This drill is best employed using seated or standing flats and seated or standing climbs. Jumps do not work well for ladders.
35 Next, try this over 60 seconds, raising the cadence 2 RPM every 4 seconds. Seated Climbs: Climb at 60 RPM with enough resistance to bring the intensity to 75%. Gradually increase the cadence to 80 RPM over 60 seconds . If possible, use 85% MHR as a ceiling.

37 Spinning® Ride Profile : This Strength Energy Zone™ ride takes a rider on three hills, each one a little longer, steeper and therefore more difficult. For the first hill, attempt to keep the heart rate at 80% max. Allow heart rate to rise to 85% with the second and third hills.
38 23:00 3 min Seated Flat 90 - 100 RPM 75% MHR Unload resistance and increase cadence to 90 RPM . Find the right resistance to maintain a heart rate effort at 75%.
