READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE
USING THE PULSPORTS
The human body requires water, air, sunlight and food to maintain
life. Water, vitamin, fibrin, carbohydrates, proteins and fat are the
main elements in food. The three primary elements -- carbohydrates,
protein and fat -- provide energy to body by burning oxygen.
Normally, five Kcal will be used for one liter of oxygen. The burning
oxygen is directly proportional with the generated of energy.
Correlation of Basic Metabolism and Heart Rate
Thus, when the body requires more oxygen to burn, the frequency of
breathing and heartbeat will increase to provide more oxygen.
Basic energy requirements
ETotal =basic metabolism + energy consumption -- Formula (1)
VO2 =1 MET + O2 -- Formula (2)
1. Basic metabolism
Energy will be expended even while we sit at rest; the
consumption of oxygen is approximately 3.5 value called MET
(Metabolic Equivalent). The minimum energy for maintaining the
daily operation of body is called basic metabolism.
Basic metabolism (O2) = 1 MET = 3.5 mℓ O2/minute/kg
O2 = 3.5 mℓ x 60 x 24 / kg / day = 5.04 ℓ/kg/day
Kcal = 5.04 x 5 Kcal/kg/day = 25.2 Kcal/kg/day (1 ℓ O2 = 5 Kcal)
For example, the basic metabolism for a 70 kg is 1764
Kcal/day. (25.2 x 70)
2. Energy consumption by through work or exercise
The Body needs energy to Work or to exercise. Only 22~25% (23%)
of generated energy is used efficiently; i.e. in generating 1 Kcal of
energy, the body expends approximately 4~5 Kcal. This means that
between 75~80% of energy is transformed into heat, which is
released by perspiring.
3. Maximum ingestion of oxygen (VO2_max) and maximum
heart rate measurement
According to formula (1) and (2) above, the body’s required
energy, ingestion of oxygen, weight and work/exercise-load are
proportional, as shown in the graph below:
According to formula (2), an increase in work/exercise load will
cause a proportional increase in output energy and VO2. However,
the output energy of the body is limited, because the lungs and
heart cannot work unconfined. Hence, physical conditioning is
decided by the maximum ingestion of oxygen; i.e. the individual
with a higher value of maximum ingestion of oxygen is in the
better physical condition. VO2_max can be measured precisely in
lab; the maximum heart rate (HRM_max) can also be measured.
4. Estimated value of maximum heart rate
Referring to the ACSM (American Collage of Sports Medicine)
formula, the maximum heart rate can be estimated as HRM_max
(BPM, beat per minute) = 220 – Age.
This formula should in fact be used merely as reference in the
estimation of maximum heart rate, for in actually the rate will be
affected by weight, physical conditioning and life-behavior
patterns at all ages. Tolerance is approximately is at about 10~12
bpm.

5. Sports and the cardiovascular system
We can improve muscle strength and also cardiopulmonary
condition through correct exercise. We can see improvements in
the cardiopulmonary condition through the heart rate, which will
decrease during exercise at the same intensity. Because of an
increase in vital capacity transport, more blood and oxygen are
transported by each contraction of the heart, and the skeletal
muscles also receive more oxygen. This can be monitored if you
use Pulsports as a guide for exercise. You can also find that
recovery time will decrease as the cardiopulmonary condition is
improved.
According to the statistics on cardiopathy in people with different
careers in Japan, the ratio heart trouble in office staffs is 2 times
that of laborers, and that of urbanites is 1.43 times that of people
living in villages. Thus, we can see that exercise improves physical
condition and prevents cardiopulmonary disease.
- 1. Intensity
Four essences of exercise
- 2. Duration
- 3. Frequency
- 4. Mode of Exercise
According to the purpose of exercise, we give the following brief
interpretations:
1.
Usually there are two ways to measure the intensity of exercise:
Intensity of exercise:
(a). Relative intensity of exercise (%HRR): At first you have to
measure the heart rate at rest (HR_rest). You can record the
heart rate on 5 days in succession usually in the morning
after you wake up but before you get up, obtaining an
average of 5 values. The resting heart rate can also be
measured at a time at least 2.5 hours after meal, after sitting
calmly for 3-5 minutes before measuring. According to the
equation for maximum heart rate from the ACSM (American
College of Sports Medicine): HR_max (Unit=BPM: Beats Per
Minute) = 220 – Age. For example, the maximum heart rate
(HR_max) for a 20 year old man is 220-20=200 BPM.
So the relative intensity of exercise (%HRR) = (Current
heart rate – HR_rest) ÷ (HR_max – HR_rest) × 100%
(b). Absolute intensity of exercise (%HR) = Current heart rate ÷
HR_max × 100%
Although recording the relative intensity of exercise (%HRR)
can be an accurate monitor of the physical condition, it is
inconvenient to measure the heart rate at rest (HR_rest)
periodically, so most heart rate monitors calculate the heart
rate based on absolute intensity of exercise (%HR). To avoid
any misunderstanding and inconvenience to the user,
Pulsports also uses absolute intensity of exercise like other
manufactures.
The above-mentioned equation for measuring heart rate is
only a rough approximation and only for adults. In some
cases the people of the same age will have different
maximum heart rates, the variance being about 10 to 12 bpm.
People who need an especially accurate maximum heart rate
are the victims of cardiopulmonary disease or those who
suffer from obesity and have not exercised for an extended
period of time. The safest heart rate during exercise for a
man in healthy physical condition is about 90% of the
maximum heart rate, but an elderly person who is obese or in
poor physical condition MUST drop down to a safe heart rate
zone.

E22- -E23
(c). According to ACSM references regarding the intensity of
exercise, there are the following levels:
% HR_Intensity
<35 Very light
<35-54 Light
<55-69 Moderate
<70-89 Hard
>90 Very hard
100 Maximal
(d). You can know your heart rate, heart rate intensity, and
calories consumption per hour while exercising by the
Pulsport monitor.

In allusion to the different purposes of exercise, for the purpose of
weight loss, we suggest considering jogging or long time walking.
For improving the cardiovascular system by swimming and
jogging. To ensure your safety, please ask the advice of a doctor
or a coach.
Mode of exercise
Balanced food intake is important while losing weight, and
exercise can speed the expenditure of the calories that we take in.
If you exercise 1-hour daily, but never stint yourself on food, you
cannot control body weight. You can gain calories easily with a
hamburger or a bottle of beer, so you cannot control your weight
if the intake and consumption of calories is not balanced. The
healthy intake is 15-20% protein, 20-30% fat and 50-60%
carbohydrates. Moreover, sufficient vitamins and minerals are
necessary. You can expend fat by dieting, but the fatty acids
generated might harm your body. A man needs at least
2000~3000 Kcal daily, the value varying according to your
personal requirements. We suggest you to ask a nutritionist to
know how many calories you need per day, and what kind of food
will be good for you.
Exercise and losing weight
We presume that you have controlled eating already, and we are
going to present the Pulsports functions which can help you
achieve the purpose of losing weight.

Calculation of calories
Energy calculations
We can use the equationW= F×S×η to find out the calories
consumed. “W” means the actual work done and “η” the rate of
mechanical efficiency of the body, and the range is 22-25%.
According to the equation we can have the following results:
when W is 1000 Kcal, and the rate of mechanical efficiency of
body is at about 1000÷0.25 - 1000÷0.22, we are talking about a
consumption of 4000 - 4500 Kcal, and deducting the actual
work of 1000 Kcal, 3000 - 3500 Kcal is expended.
Energy consumption from everyday work:
Item Duration Male Female
Sleep 8 hr 460 Kcal 350 Kcal
Eating 1 hr 90 Kcal 70 Kcal
Driving 0.5 hr 50 Kcal 35 Kcal
Standing 1 hr 125 Kcal 95 Kcal
Office work 6 hr 620 Kcal 465 Kcal
Cooking 1.5 hr 245 Kcal 180 Kcal
Showering 0.2 hr 70 Kcal 50 Kcal
• You can calculate how many Kcal you need for daily work
from the above table.
2.
We know that there are many different equations for calculating
the ideal body weight, and usually we use the ACSM equation,
which uses BMI (Body Mass Index) as a reference for ideal
body weight.
Ideal body weight
BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ square of height (m2)
※ Ideal BMI value for males is 22
※ Ideal BMI value for females is 21
Normally, a range within ±10% of the ideal value can be
thought of as the ideal weight, so a suitable BMI for males is
19.8 - 24.2, and for females it is 18.9 - 23.1.
An easy way find your ideal body weight is:
Male: Square of Height (m2) × 22
Female: Square of Height (m2) × 21
For example, the ideal body weight for a male with height of
175 cm is 67 kg (1.752 × 22), and suitable weight is 60.3 - 73.7
kg (±10% of ideal body weight).

a). Heart rate and calories consumption:
The right way to lose weight
The body obtains energy from burning fuels such as
carbohydrates and fat, in this process the cardiovascular
system delivers oxygen to the skeletal muscles. If the
skeletal muscles need a lot of oxygen it is the result of the
fuels burning faster. We can train the cardiovascular system
and skeletal muscles by exercise. We suggest exercising 20
minutes a day at least 3 to 5 days a week. If you desire to
lose fat then exercise over 30 minutes a day is
recommended. Fat expenditure depends on the time and
intensity of exercise, the more you exercise the more fat will
be expended. Warm up and cool down is necessary. Always
do a slow warm up and cool down as well as gentle stretching
for at least 5 to 10 minutes to avoid athletic injuries. 30
minutes of exercise with the addition of warm up and cool
down (10 to 20 minutes) will make the average workout time
around 50 minutes. If you do not have the appropriate time
or cannot endure exercise for 50 to 60 minutes at one time,
30 minutes of exercise two times a day is also available.
The body will keep burning fat with in 30 minutes after
exercise this means more calories will be expended.
b). The principles of losing and retaining weight:
(b-1). Retaining weight through exercise
Daily amount of exercise = Daily intake of calories －
Basic metabolism － Daily energy consumption from
work.
(b-2). Losing weight through exercise.
Daily amount of exercise > Daily intake of calories －
Basic metabolism － Daily energy consumption
from work.
• Surplus body fat of will expended this way.

c). Proper principle for losing weight
Regular intense exercise can help expend extra calories;
however, a plan for losing weight is better. You must have a
plan that can ensure the continuation of exercise. As a
reference, we suggest staying at each step for 6 months
and keeping daily consumption at about 300-500 Kcal and
lose 0.5 kg weekly. Do not lose more than 10% of your
weight at each step, so as not to harm your body.

Pulsports has specially designed functions to help you
calculate the consumption of calories and weight loss.
Control your weight using Pulsports
a). K_cal: calculate the consumption of calories for each form
of exercise.
b). T_CAL: record the expended calorie consumption in a week
or a month.
c). WT_LOS: calculate the weight lost for each form of exercise,
including water, carbohydrates and fat.
d). %Fat Loss: clearly calculate the percentage of fat lost from
the total expended calories; you will realize that
the fat lost varies and depends on the intensity
of heart rate.
e). FT_LOS: calculate the fat expended by each form of
exercise (deducting 20% water related to fat):
Pulsports will display the actual weight of fat lost.
f). CAL/H: Calories expenditure per hour. Increasing or
decreasing the intensity of heart rate can control
target calories consumption.
For instance: a 25 years old female with a weight of 50 kg,
exercising at the level of light intensity.
Calories expenditure per hour: 210 Kcal (4.2 × 50) ~ 255 Kcal (5.1
× 50).

The above mentioned functions are available only while the heart
rate is over 90 bpm.
Above values are calculated depending on the personal data input
and the heart rate.
The calculated and recorded calories expended are from the
whole process of exercise, not only just from the exercise itself.
All functions related to the equation and generated values are
based on the “body load exercise” mode; for example: walking or
jogging. The heart rate will not be stable at the beginning of
exercise, so the calculating of expended calories will have an
error value; the value will become more accurate after warm-up.

The reasonable/correct process of exercise could be showed by
the following graph, there are three main parts:
Special design of Pulsports – Programmable
Target Zone
1. Warm-up: for avoiding the athletic injuries we strongly
recommend that you always do a slow warm up and gentle
stretching for at least 5~10 minutes every time you start
exercising.
2. Target zone: keep the preset intensity for each exercise
purpose for at least 20 minutes to ensure you get results from
your exercise.
3. Cool down: it is important as warm-up. Our body needs time
to recover when moving from the exercise to the restful state.
So a 5~10 minutes cool down after exercise can help you
avoid athletic injuries
.
The correct exercise process requires at least 5~10 minutes
warm up. Each target zone shift also requires 3-5 minutes to
become stable. The target zone alarm will be in effect during this
period, do not worry about it so much. The body is adjusting to
the intensity of heart rate, so do not let the beep affect your
current exercise tempo. Otherwise, your exercise graph will look
like the following. You will get tired easier, and it will affect the
results of your exercise.
For keeping the succession of exercise, it is not necessary to
stop and reset your target zone by using Pulsports while
exercising. The special functions are:
a). H: Shift by hand. 1~9 target zone can be pre-set before
exercise. You can shift the target zone by press the ST/SP
button; it is convenient for the beginner. You can use the
record of exercise graph as a reference in order to setup
the next 2 function.
b). T: Auto shift by pre-set exercise time for each zone. 1~9
target zone can be pre-set, too. Each zone can be set
independent. The stopwatch (STW) will count down and
alarm while finish by 2 beep, the sound reminds you that
the next target zone is starting. Beep for 10 seconds
means you have completed all the target zone of
exercise. This function is suitable for the regular exerciser,
because the function of count down will not be affected
by heart rate and target zone.
c). E: Similar to the “T” function. The count down timer is base on
the exercise time, which is different from the T mode. The
timer will start counting down since your heart rate must
reach the low level of pre-set target zone. This function is
suitable for the professional athletic.
