• During exercise or sports, your heart
naturally speeds up pumping blood to the
body in accordance with your increased
energy level.
•
The Heart Rate Chronograph Mode and
Instant Heart Rate Mode shows the
current heart rate in terms of:
• Heart Rate (e.g 78) : The number of
heart beats per minute (bpm), and
• Percentage of Estimated Maximum
Heart (e.g 40%): The percentage of
the acquired heart rate with respect to
one's estimated maximum heart rate.
Percentage of Estimated Maximum Heart
Rate
• It is a useful figure for analysing the
cardio-fitness of a person.
• It can be used to define a heart rate zone
for cardio-fitness training.
•
Consult your doctor for more information
on the implications of Percentage of
Estimated Maximum Heart Rate.
NOTE:
The user MUST input his/her age and
gender into the watch. Check chapter 5.1 for
the details on age and gender settings.
Estimated Maximum Heart Rate (EMHR):
• EMHR = 220 - user age.
• Example: What is Tom's EMHR at his
age of 27?
• EMHR = 220 - 27 = 193.
NOTE:
This Watch can calculate the EMHR
for user the age up to 99.
Percentage of Estimated Maximum Heart
Rate (%EMHR):
• %EMHR =
Acquired heart rate
÷
EMHR X 100%
• Example: What is Tom's %EMHR if he
has acquired a heart rate of 78.
• %EMHR = 78
÷
193 X 100% = 40%
