7.1 INFORMATION ON HEART RATE
1. HR zone (health zone) – Health:
55–70 % of HR max
Designed for: health for people who are new to training
(or starting again) This zone is also called the “fat burning zone”
and it trains the aerobic metabolism. More fat than carbohydrate
is burned or converted to energy over longer times at
lower intensity.
2. HR zone (fitness zone) – fitness:
70–80 % of HR max.
Designed for: fitness at advanced level. You train much more
intensively in the fitness zone. Cardiovascular training in this zone
is aimed at building basic stamina and thus improving aerobic
performance.
3. HR zone (power zone) – performance:
80–100 % of HR max.
Designed for: training for performance-oriented athletes, partially
in anaerobic range. Training in the power zone is very intensive
and should only be carried out by well trained athletes.
7.2 IAT AND MEASURING LACTATE (advantages, background)
The ONYX PRO gives you the opportunity to enter your lactate
values to control your training in a very precise manner via your
individual anaerobic threshold IAT. The anaerobic threshold is
determined by measuring lactate: several blood samples are taken
from the ear in a stepped interval test.
