3.6.2 Heart rate zones

Heart rate zones are defined as percentages of your maximum heart rate. Zone training

is an established training method, so there are pre-set defaults as follows:

●

Zone 1 (60-70%): fitness zone; improves basic fitness and is good for weight

control.

●

Zone 2 (70-80%): aerobic zone; improves aerobic fitness and is good for

endurance training.

●

Zone 3 (80-90%): threshold zone; improves aerobic and anaerobic capacity and

is good for improving peak performance.

If you are following a personal training program that uses zone training, enter the values

defined by the program.

NOTE: The zone defaults follow the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine

for exercise prescription.

In the HR ZONES menu, you can turn on the zone feature, define zone limits, and turn

tones on or off. When the zones feature and the tones are turned on, your device alerts

you with a beep when you move from one zone to another.
