The heart rate (HR) is stated in beats per
minute.
Maximum heart rate
The maximum heart rate (HR max.) is the
maximum possible rate at which your heart
beats when exploiting your physical performance
completely. Your personal HR max. varies with
your age, gender, ability to perform,
performance related to your type of sport and
your physical fitness.
We recommend undertaking this test with a
doctor and repeating it regularly.

The HR max. is approximated automatically
in the ONYX FIT using the following
mathematical equation:
Men:
210 – "half age" – (0.11 x personal weight
in kg) +4
Women:
210 – "half age" – (0.11 x personal weight
in kg)
The right training pulse
The training zone is the range in which the
heart rate should move during effective and
targeted training.
Please always note that general exercise can
never address personal issues! Therefore
really ideal training can only be designed by
a well educated trainer who personally knows
the athlete.
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. That is why it is
recommended to train at this intensity
> 40 min to reduce weight.
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.
