| CALCULATION OF THE MAXIMUM HEART RATE |
|
T M H R = 220 - age for men.
T M H R = 226 - age for women. |
90 to 100 % of the TMHR
|
Red zone
|
Very high intensity zone, dangerous, reserved for highly trained athletes and which cannot last very long. |
80 to 90 % of the TMHR
|
Anaerobic threshold
|
The energy is obtained purely from carbohydrates.
Maximum accumulation of the oxygen debt. |
70 to 80 % of the TMHR
|
Intensive endurance
|
Still in aerobic activity, use of the glycogen starts to appear. |
60 to 70 % of the TMHR
|
Extensive endurance
|
Basic zone of the in-depth work, we are in total aerobic activity.
Fat consumption is now at a maximum. |
50 to 60 % of the TMHR
|
Fundamental endurance
|
Resumed activity or reconstitution of reserves after a competition. Consists of gentle recuperation jogging. |
The results obtained will be totally different depending on the level of the maximum heart rate during training.
It is therefore important to determine the figure according to your objectives. |
