Understanding Heart Rate

The heart rate (HR) is displayed in beats per minute.

Maximum Heart Rate

The maximum heart rate (HR max) is your highest heart rate achieved by
going to the limits of your capability. The personal max HR depends on
your age, your sex and your fitness level. The best way to determine the
individual HR max is a stress test.
We recommend that you see a doctor to do this test and that you repeat
it regularly.
The HR max may also be estimated by using the following mathematical
equitation:
Men: 210 - „half age" - (0.11 x personal weight in kg) + 4
Women: 210 - „half age" - (0.11 x personal weight in kg).
The SHAPE WATCH automatically calculates your HR max using this
equation.
The right heart rate for training
The training zone is the range of heart rate that you want to be in while
training. In the field of sport´s medicine, there are 3 training zones:
Please be aware that common training schedules never match the
individual needs of a person. A perfect training schedule can only be set
up by a well-educated trainer, who knows you personally.
