7.1 INFORMATION ON HEART RATE
We recommend undertaking this test with a doctor and repeating
it regularly.
The HR max. is approximated automatically in the ONYX EASY
using the following mathematical equation:
Men:
210 – “half age” – (0.11 x personal weight in kg) +4
Women:
210 – “half age” – (0.11 x personal weight in kg)
The right training pulse:
The training zone is the range in which the heart rate should move
during effective and targeted training. In your ONYX EASY you can
choose between the “Fat Burner Zone” and the “Fitness Zone” de-
pending on your personal targets. You can find more information
about this in Chapter 3.1 “User settings”.
HR zone (Fat Burner Zone) 55–70 % of HR max.:
Designed for: health for people who are new to training
(or starting again).
This zone is also called “fat burning zone”. More fat than carbo-
hydrate is burned at low intensity for longer periods. At this low
level of intensity the tendency is for more fat than carbohydrate
to be burned. It is therefore recommended to train for > 40 mins.
at this intensity for targeted weight loss.
HR zone (Fitness Zone) – fitness 70–80 % of HR max.:
Designed for: fitness at advanced level.
You already train more intensively in the fitness zone.
In this case energy is mainly supplied by burning carbohydrates.
Training at this intensity strengthens the heart and circulation
and builds up stamina.
