Heart rate

Age
Prevalent use of sugars
Competitive athletes’ workouts (requiring a doctor’s certificate).
Combined use of fats and sugars
Significant improvement of aerobic efficiency.
Prevalent use of fats and increased use of sugars
Moderate improvement of aerobic efficiency.
Prevalent use of fats and modest use of sugars
Limited improvement of aerobic efficiency.
To read the graph, simply find your age on the horizontal axis and scan up the vertical axis until you
reach the 60%, 70% and 90% values.
Aerobic exercise performed at a heart rate
between 60% and 70%
mainly burns fat as an energy
source.
When doing aerobic exercise at a heart rate of
70% to 90%
, the cardiocirculatory component prevails.
For example, if someone
aged 30
wants to burn off fat, their heart rate during the exercise should be
somewhere between 112 (60%) and 131 (70%). If they want to improve cardio-respiratory capacity,
their heart rate should be somewhere between 131 (70%) and 168 (90%).
USER DETECTION
User detection is a safety function that stops the running belt from moving if no one is standing on it.
The function is activated if the belt moves at speed greater than 3 km/h. The belt stops and the
exercise is paused.
At minimum speed, the user is detected only if they weigh at least 50 kg.
