II. Explaining and setting the training functions

The heart rate (Hr) is displayed in beats per minute.

1. Maximum Heart Rate- Maximum test

The maximum heart rate Hr MAX is your present maximum heart rate if you go to the limits of your capability. The individual Hr max depends on your age, your sex and your fitness level. The best way to determine the individual Hr max is a stress test.

We recommend you to see a doctor to do this test and to repeat it regularly.

The Hr max may also be estimated by means of the following mathematical equation.

Men: 210 - half age - (0.11 x personal weight + 4)

Women: 210 - half age - (0.11 x personal weight)

Set of maximum heart rate

• Press MODE 2 to enter MAX % display. SET appears blinking.
• Hold SET key for 2 seconds until the word "hold" disappears and you get the blinking MAX format (30)
• Press SET key to select individual maximum heart rate.
  • T o quit the setting press MODE 2 key

2. The right heart rate for training

The training zone is the variation of the heart rate you want to train in for effective training

An indication is:

65 % of the Hr max is your lower limit for training and 80 % of the Hr max should be your top limit. You can find out your estimated heart rate zone looking at the chart in accordance with your goals.

Zone: General Health 50-70 % of the Hr max
Alignment: Fitness for beginners

	Hr max			150	160	170	180	190	200	210
Upper limit	70 %	105	112	119	126	133	140	147
Lower limit	50 %	75	80	85	90	95	100	105

	150	160	170	180	190	200	210
Upper limit	80 %	120	128	136	144	152	160	168
Lower limit	70 %	105	112	119	126	133	140	147

Lower limit 80 %	120	128	136	144	152	160	168
