KJ (KILOJOULES)
IMPORTANT: The console will measure kilojoules
if it is used with the power sensor. If the console
is used with the RPM sensor, the console will not
measure kilojoules.
The console will measure and show the amount of
work a user has accomplished during a ride in kilo-
joules (KJ). The console will show the kilojoules value
only in the RESULTS mode.
The kilojoules value is a direct measurement that can
be converted into a food energy equivalent (kilocalo-
ries). However, the formula for this conversion makes
assumptions about the mechanical efficiency of the
human body.
A kilojoule is equal to 1000 joules. In turn, 1 joule is
equal to 1 watt applied for 1 second.
KCAL (KILOCALORIES)
Theconsolewillmeasureandshowtheapproximate
amount of food energy used by a user’s body in
kilocalories (KCAL). Note: Kilocalories are also known
aslargecaloriesorCalories.Innutritionalcontexts,
kilocalories are known as Calories.
A kilocalorie is equal to 1000 small calories. Note:
Small calories are also known as gram calories. Small
calories are very small units and are not used in nutri-
tionalcontexts.
If the console is used with the power sensor, the
console will measure kilocalories as described
below:
The console will use the following formula to convert
the kilojoules value to the kilocalories value:
First, the kilojoules value is converted to the kilocalo-
ries equivalent (4.186 kilojoules = 1 kilocalorie). Then,
this value is divided by the standard assumption of
human mechanical efficiency (22 percent). The result is
theapproximateamountoffoodenergyused.
If the console is used with the RPM sensor, the
console will measure kilocalories as described
below:
The console will show a kilocalories value using for-
mulas and assumptions based on the user’s weight
and heart rate. The user’s weight can be entered into
the console in the User Setup mode. The user’s heart
rate will be provided when the user wears a compatible
heart rate monitor (not included).
RPM (REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE)
The console will measure and show the user’s pedal-
ing cadence in revolutions per minute (RPM).
A user’s pedaling cadence is the number of times the
user’s foot travels a complete pedal stroke (360-degree
circle or revolution) in one minute.
HEART RATE
If a user wears a compatible heart rate monitor (not
included), the console will measure and show a user’s
heart rate in beats per minute.
When the console detects a signal from the user’s
heart rate monitor, the heart symbol in the display will
flash and the user’s heart rate will be shown.
