The right training pulse
The training zone is the range in which the
heart rate should beat during effective and
targeted training.
Please note that general exercise plans can
never address personal issues! Therefore really
ideal training can only be designed by a well
educated trainer who knows you personally.
1. HR zone (health zone) – Health:
55-70 % of HR max
Designed for: health for people who are new
to training (or starting again) This zone is also
called the “fat burning zone” and it trains the
aerobic metabolism. More fat than carbohydrate
is burned or converted to energy over longer
times at lower intensity.
2. 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.
Training in this zone strengthens basic endurance.
3. HR zone (power zone) – performance:
80-100 % of HR max.
Designed for: training for performance-oriented
athletes, partially in anaerobic range. Training
in the power zone is very intensive and should
only be carried out by well trained athletes.
