Understanding Heart Rate
The maximum heart rate (HR max) is your highest heart rate achieved by
going to the limits of your capability. The personal max HR depends on
your age, your sex and your fitness level. The best way to determine the
individual HR max is a stress test.
We recommend that you see a doctor to do this test and that you repeat
it regularly.
The HR max may also be estimated by using the following mathematical
equitation:
Men: 210 - „half age“ - (0.11 x personal weight in kg) + 4
Women: 210 - „half age“ - (0.11 x personal weight in kg).
The FIT WATCH calculates automatically your HR max with this equation.
Maximum Heart Rate
The heart rate (HR) is displayed in beats per minute.
The training zone is the range of heart rate that you want to be in while
training. In the field of sport´s medicine, there are 3 training zones:
Please be aware that common training schedules never match the
individual needs of a person. A perfect training schedule can only be set
up by a well-educated trainer, who knows you personally.
The right heart rate for training
Understanding Heart Rate
This heart rate monitor can analyze your calorie consumption during
a physical effort. Based on your sex, weight and specific sport factor
(see list) it can calculate the present calorie consumption rate during a
particular activity, and the total calories burned during that workout.
Some of the most common sport specific factors are pre-programmed
into your FIT WATCH. If you do not find your sport, you can set your
factor manually. The following sport specific factors are not
programmed in the FIT WATCH:
