a) Pulse limits and training zones
In order to sensibly use the pulse watch, it is important that you know the following personal
data:
• Your max. pulse
• Your training zone or training target
• Your upper pulse limit
• Your lower pulse limit
These data help you drawl maximum benefit for your health from your training.
☞
For this, we recommend that you coordinate with y doctor or a comparable specialist
before setting up your own training schedule or setting your target.
Alternatively, you can calculate your own personal upper and lower pulse limits with the following
formula or check the following table.
• Male: 220 – Your age
• Female: 226 – Your age
Explanation of pulse range table:
• For reasons of simplicity, we have set up 2 tables for you. Calculate according to the above
principle (max. pulse rate - your age). The first table is for men, the second for women.
• Depending on your gender, age and weight, the tables offer three different training zones with
three different training targets. You need to enter, among others, your training level or target
in the pulse watch.
Level 1 (55-70% of your upper pulse limit)
Target: Maintain a healthy heart and lose weight
Level 2 (70-80% of your upper pulse limit)
Target: Develop stamina and increase it
Level 3 (80-100% of your upper pulse limit)
Target: Maintain a very good stamina and increase your muscle power
