We recommend undertaking this test with a
doctor and repeating it regularly.
The HR max. is approximated automatically in
the ONYX EASY 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.
In your ONYX EASY you can choose between
the Fat Burner Zone and the Fitness Zone
depending on your personal targets.
You can find more information about this in
Chapter 3.1 “User settings”.
Fat Burner-Zone 55 – 70 % of HR max.:
Designed for: health for people who are new
to training (or starting again).
This zone is also called “fat burning zone”.
More fat than carbohydrate is burned at low
intensity for longer periods.
At this low level of intensity the tendency is for
more fat than carbohydrate to be burned.
It is therefore recommended to train for
> 40 mins. at this intensity for targeted
weight loss.
HR zone (fitness zone) – fitness
70 – 80 % of HR max.:
Designed for: fitness at advanced level.
You already train more intensively in the
fitness zone.
In this case energy is mainly supplied by
burning carbohydrates. Training at this
intensity strengthens the heart and
circulation and builds up stamina.
