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)

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 Zone: Fitness 70-80 % of Hr max Alignment: Fitness for advanced users Hr max 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 Zone: Competitive performance 80-100 % of Hr max Alignment: Compatition Training for performance athletes Hr max 150 160 170 180 190 200 210 Upper limit 100 % 150 160 170 180 190 200 210 Lower limit 80 % 120 128 136 144 152 160 168 Please be aware that common training schedules never match the individual needs of a person.
