AT-Heart Rate (AT-HR) Calculation Function (P. 20)
Target Zone Function (PP.15 & 17)
Estimate of Marathon Finish Time (P. 22)
ASICS HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) Watch measures heart rate, and calculates
“AT-Heart Rate” and “AT-Pace” from running data using the proprietary
algorithm developed by ASICS, providing runners with useful information to
perform their training efficiently and effectively.
■
AT (Anaerobic Threshold) refers to the point at which your body transitions
from aerobic to anaerobic exercise as the exercise intensity increases.
When the exercise intensity (running pace) exceeds the AT, the exercise
gradually becomes anaerobic, making it difficult to continue running for
long.
The AT has a strong relation with marathon pace. It not only provides a
measure to control the intensity of training efficiently, but also serves as a
guideline for your race pace.
■
ASICS HRM Watch automatically calculates AT-Heart Rate and AT-Pace using
the algorithm developed by ASICS Institute of Sports Science based on its
accumulated database.
By setting the target heart rate zone around AT-Heart Rate, and performing
various types of training programs day by day utilizing the target zone,
higher effect can be expected from less amount of training.
For the runners seeking to complete a marathon,
or those aiming to improve their performance,
planning training programs based on the AT-Heart
Rate will enhance the efficiency of training and,
achieve their purposes more effectively.
For the runners worrying about their running
pace, the AT-Pace will serve as a guideline for their
race pace.
The watch calculates your AT-Heart Rate and
AT-Pace by inputting your gender, personal best
time for 5 or 10 km (preferably, the time measured
within last 2 years), and running data obtained by
running a usual distance at a usual pace.
For the details of the method of training based on
the heart rate zones, please refer to the “Training
Book.”
The watch indicates, while you are running,
whether your heart rate is above, below or within
the target zone around your AT-Heart Rate. This
function helps you perform training based on
heart rate zones in a well-balanced manner.
It is possible to customize this function by finely
adjusting the target heart rate (”TARGET”) and the
zone width above/below it (”ZONE”).
For the details of the method of training based on
the heart rate zones, please refer to the “Training
Book.”
Using the algorithm developed by ASICS, the
watch estimates your finish times for a full
marathon and a half marathon by inputting your
gender and running time for 5 or 10 km.
