Setting the heart rate zone calculation method
The heart rate interval can be calculated based on the maximum heart rate percentage or
HRR percentage. To set the heart rate interval calculation method, open the Huawei Health
app, go to Me > Settings > Heart rate limit and zones and set Calculation method to
either Maximum heart rate percentage or HRR percentage.
•
If you select Maximum heart rate percentage as the calculation method, the heart
rate zone for different types of workout activities (Extreme, Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fat-
burning, and Warm-up) is calculated based on your maximum heart rate ("220 – your
age" by default). Heart rate = Maximum heart rate x Maximum heart rate percentage.
•
If you select HRR percentage as the calculation method, the heart rate interval for
different types of workout activities (Advanced anaerobic, Basic anaerobic, Lactic acid,
Advanced aerobic, and Basic aerobic) is calculated based on your heart rate reserve
(HRmax - HRrest). Heart rate = Heart rate reserve x Heart rate reserve perc
Resting heart rate.
•
The heart rate zone calculation methods while you are running are not affected by the
settings in the Huawei Health app. For most running courses, HRR percentage is
selected by default.
Your watch will display different colors when your heart rate reaches corresponding zones
during a workout.
