7. OTHER INFORMATION
7.1 INFORMATION ON HEART RATE
The heart rate (HR) is stated in beats per minute.
Maximum heart rate
The maximum heart rate (HR max.) is the maximum possible
rate at which your heart beats when exploiting your physical
performance completely. Your personal HR max. varies with
your age, gender, ability to perform, performance related to
your type of sport and your physical fitness.
We recommend undertaking this test with a doctor and repeating
it regularly.
The HR max. is approximated automatically in the ONYX FIT 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. Please always note that
general exercise can never address personal issues! Therefore
really ideal training can only be designed by a well educated trainer
who personally knows the athlete.
