Heart rate training This section is just a general overview of training with heart rate data. For more complete information, there are books and websites with more in-depth information. Generally, the heart rate increases during exercise, getting higher in conjunction with the intensity of the workout. Measuring the rate of your heart beat is a good indicator of the intensity of your workout.
Reference Guide 2. Training for competition Measure your resting heart rate just after waking in the morning and your maximum heart rate (perhaps during competition). Then set your target zone according to your goal: A) For recovery, endurance training, and weight loss : 60% - 70% (aerobic exercise) B) For quality endurance and tempo training : 70% - 80% (aerobic exercise) C) For increasing TT and race ability, and VO2 max : 85% + (anaerobic exercise) D) For anaerobic capacity and sprinting : 92.
Reference Guide Power meter training manual for Cateye What is power? Training with power is an important and exciting way to monitor and improve your cycling performance. For any given conditions your bicycle speed will be greater with a higher power output. Unlike heart rate, which is a dependent variable and can vary due to external influences (such as diet, fatigue, and ambient temperature, etc.) power directly affects your performance.
Reference Guide Goal Setting Training with power demands precise goal setting, which can help you be more efficient with your training. Precise goal setting allows you to set a clear direction in which you want to move. You should endeavour to set your goals in a specific manner. Don't set goals such as “be faster”. Your goals need to be specific to you: • Specific - e.g. take 1 minute off your personal best over 40-km, by increasing your power by 10 W • Measurable - e.g.
Reference Guide Limiting factors Limiting factors in cycling performance – can be broken into three broad bands, these being: • Physiological/biomechanical (e.g., MAP, lactate threshold, aerodynamics, etc.) • Training (e.g., TT, climbing) • Skill (e.g.
Reference Guide Testing Training zones can be defined in a variety of different ways and no one system is 100% correct or suitable for everyone. An incremental test to exhaustion is used to define training based on MAP. The test needs to be conducted on an indoor trainer (not rollers), and requires you to be well rested. Two days prior to the test have a complete day off, whilst the day before, should be an easy ride of 45 – 90 minutes duration.
Reference Guide The Zones After calculating your MAP, you can identify your training zones. As with any training system, each zone is specifically aimed at various physiological criteria.
Reference Guide Can race performance power be estimated? Although race performance can be down to mental fortitude, as much as physical ability, a power – time curve exists, i.e., the shorter an event is the more power you can produce, and conversely the longer an event is the less power you produce (sprinting for a few seconds, versus riding steady and continuously for 10-hrs!). For endurance-based events, an estimate of the power output that can be achieved for a variety of distances is shown below.
Reference Guide The Cateye as your coach As well as using the power meter for data collection (e.g. within a race), or for training purposes, you can also use it to provide instantaneous feedback. Because the Cateye provides instantaneous feedback, it forces you to think about what you are doing, and whether you are riding at the prescribed intensity. Similar to having a coach with you all the time, the Cateye will tell you to get a move on, or to ease up.
Reference Guide Trouble shooting If a malfunction occurs, check the following before contacting CatEye or your retailer for repair or service. Trouble on display Trouble / Check Items / Remedy Display motion becomes slower. Is the surrounding temperature low (below zero centigrade/32 farenheit)? Temperatures below freezing may result in slower screen response. Display-4 (Power) flashes.
Reference Guide Trouble on display (Continued) Trouble / Check Items / Remedy Fluctuation in the heart rate indicator, for example it returns to zero and then the heart rate is measured again. Is the electrode pad being worn correctly? To wear the electrode pad correctly, follow the instructions for wearing the heart rate sensor (page 17). Moving the main unit away from your body will prevent measurement of the heart rate. The battery for the heart rate sensor or the main unit is used up.
Reference Guide Trouble on operation Trouble / Check Items / Remedy Pressing the START/STOP/ENTER button does not start or stop measurement. Check whether the auto-mode is turned on (with the icon illuminating). icon illuminates, the auto-mode is on; you cannot start or stop measurement by pressWhen the ing the button. Turn off the auto-mode. (See “Auto-mode” on page 37.
Reference Guide Replacing battery Warning!!!: • Never charge, cause a short-circuit of, increase the temperature of, or disassemble the battery. Do not dispose of it in a fire either. Doing so may generate heat or cause a leak or burst and may result in injury or burning. • Safely dispose of the old batteries, and do not place them within reach of children. If a battery is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately. • When closing the battery cover, be careful not to pinch the seal.
Reference Guide Battery unit Battery life: Approx. 3 months when the power unit is used one hour per day. * The battery life shown in this manual is not definitive and it varies depending on the use environment. Release the lock of the battery unit and slide the unit downward to remove it from the battery bracket. Open the upper cap and replace the old batteries with two new ones (AA batteries).
