The heart rate frequency (HR) or pulse is recorded in beats
per minute.
Maximum Heart Rate Frequency
The maximum heart rate (max HR) is the highest frequency
possible, achieved at total exhaustion during physical performance.
Some factors that can influence max HR are age, weight, sex,
and fitness level. The best way to determine your max HR is a
stress test.
We recommend that you have your doctor carry out this test for
you at regular intervals.
The max. HR can also be estimated with the aid of a
mathematical formula:
Men:
210 – "half age" – (0.11 x personal weight in kg) + 4
Women:
210 – "half age" – (0.11 x personal weight in kg)
(Note: To convert weight from lb. to kg. multiply by 2.2)
The correct training pulse
The training zone is the range in which the heart rate frequency
should fluctuate during effective and targeted training. Three
training zones can be classified from a sports medicine perspective:
Please be aware that these are general guidelines. Target zones
will vary from person to person. Individualized training/personal
goal setting is only possible through a well qualified trainer who
knows the individual.
