Canadatrek Distance Charts & Graphs 1) Canadatrek Daily Distance Chart – The Canadatrek Daily Distance Chart contains several views and macros buttons available for use. The left-hand column represents the days. This is where you would enter your information, according to the distance you have traveled that day. After exercising, log your distance in the Canadatrek Daily Distance Chart. Fill in the distance traveled (trekked) for each day of exercise. The distance traveled can be recorded as kilometers or miles, but you cannot alternate between the two measurements. Once entered, be sure to save your data using the Save Data button. The distance saved will be auto-poulated in the Canadatrek Monthly Distance Chart. In this tab, the Clear Data button should be used to clear out the values before starting to record a new month. Once you have saved data within the Canadatrek™ Daily Distance Chart, you can retrived previously saved months (and years) using the Retrieve Data button. You can specify a specific month and year to retrieve data for that month and year. Once retrieved, you do not need to save the data unless you have changed some of the values that were retrieved. 2) Canadatrek Monthly Distance Chart – The Canadatrek Monthly Distance Chart uses the Canadatrek Daily Distance Chart data , sums it up by month, and populates the data in the appropriate month. The chart also provides the average monthly distance for the year.The Canadatrek Monthly Distance Chart will display the distance recorded for the current year, by month. It will also provide an average distance trekked over the course of the year. 3) Canadatrek Yearly Distance Chart – The Canadatrek Yearly Distance Chart captures the data from the Canadatrek Monthly Distance Chart and places the total in the appropriate year. Within the current application, the last year the system will accept data is for the year 2040. The Canadatrek Yearly Distance Chart provides the average accumulated distance per year. 4) Canadatrek Accumulated KM or Miles Tabs – For the Canadatrek Accumulated Distance Tabs , there is one for kilometres and one for miles. All the daily data that you collect through the Canadatrek Daily Distance Chart is recorded here. Within these tabs there are several sections that provide data based on the distance traveled. The leftmost section provides the listing of the current daily data. The next section contains the From Distance Markers, and the To Distance Markers. These represent the various distance markers that make up the locations you will trek to as you travel across Canada. The locations within this view will change as the distance, and the accumulated distance increases. For the distance markers, if you have traveled distance past some of the markers, you will see a Completed indicator in the Distance to Next column. The Action column will indicate Bypassed Location . In the View Selection macro area, there are several buttons you can use to call macros that perform various functions. For example, the Next button will take you to the next view of distance locations, whereas the Previous button will take you back to the previous view of distance locations. You can also use the province macro buttons to select the beginning for each of the various provinces. If you would like to search various distances to see where you would be if you were at that particular distance, you would use the Accumulated Search Selection. In this section the list box contains a list of location distances that can be selected. Once you select a particular distance, the section provides the From Marker location, the To Marker location, the Distance to the Next marker, and the Province where the From Marker location resides. The Accumulated KM tab represents the data in Kilometers and the Accumulated Miles tab represents the data in miles. If you choose to measure your exercise distance in miles, then you would choose the Accumulated Miles tab. If you choose to measure your exercise distance in kilometres, then you would use the Accumulated KM tab. Again, all the various macros are very similar in each of these two tabs. Canadatrek Cardiac Charts 5) Canadatrek Resting Heart Rate Chart – The first tab within the Canadatrek Exercise Companion System ™ is the Resting Heart Rate tab. Within this tab you will enter the number of heart beats per minute you measure while resting. Enter the value in the appropriate date field within the left-hand column. When you click on the very first day in the column, a message is presented indicating the range of values that can be entered. In this case the range is between 40 beats per minute and 150 beats per minute. 6) Canadatrek Target Heart Rate Calculation Tab – The next tab in the system is the Target Heart Rate Calculation tab. There are two methos of obtaining this calculation. The first is called a Standard calculation, and the second is a Karvonen calculation. These methods will provide the heart rate target you should try to achieve during your exercise regime. To obtain the calculation, you start by entering your age, then select the power level you are currently at. The 3 levels are, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The power level is selected from the list box. Be sure to choose the appropriate power level for your current fitness level. Once the data has been provided, the calculation will give you a target heart rate to aim for. In the Karvonen calculation, it uses the same two inputs, age and power level, as the standard calculation, but has a third element which is your resting heart rate per minute. Using these values, this method provides you with target heart rate. The result may be slightly different from the standard calculation 7) Canadatrek Target Heart Rate Chart – The next tab is the Target Heart Rate chart. This tab is where you enter the highest number of heart beats per minute you achieved during your exercise. These values are placed in the column to the left for the appropriate day. You should not attempt to exceed your target heart rate when exercising. The values that can be entered range between 60 bpm and 210 bpm. As with all the charts and graphs on each of the tabs, when the values in the data columns is changed, the graphs will change accordingly and display the updated values. At the bottom of the chart, it provides an average target heart rate based on the values entered in the data column. 8) Canadatrek Recovery Cardiac Chart – For the Recovery Cardiac chart, you will enter the number of seconds required for your heart rate to return to normal. The range of values accepted are between 30 seconds and 300 seconds. If it takes your heart longer than 300 seconds to recover, you should seriously consider seeing your physician for further testing. The chart also displays an average heart rate recovery time in seconds based on the entered data.
