2. For competitors

Measure your resting heart rate just after awakening in the morning and your maximum heart rate
(perhaps during competition). Then set your target zone according to your goal:

A) For longer physical-endurance

Aiming at races which last for many hours
or over consecutive days:

60% - 70% (aerobic exercise)

B) For physical-endurance which lasts about two hours

70% - 80% (aerobic exercise)

C) For pushing power at full force for about a minute

more than 85% (anaerobic exercise)

D) For instantaneous maximum power which lasts for several seconds (sprinting)

more than 95% (anaerobic exercise)

Resting heart rate

Measure your resting heart rate when you are awake in bed in the morning.

Maximum heart rate

The following calculations are generally used: (220 – age) or (240 – 0.69 x age).

For more precise figure, consult a training specialist.

(Target heart rate) – (Resting heart rate)

(Maximum heart rate) – (Resting heart rate)
