Generally, the heart rate increases during exercise, getting higher in conjunction with the intensity of the workout.
ENG -60 Obtaining individual heart rate zone for building up power Athletic ability is different from person to person. The effective and reasonable target heart rate zone has to be obtained from the actual ride data. A time trial for 20 minutes or 5 km (hereinafter abbreviated as TT) is required to measure the actual data.
ENG -61 Continue Obtain your target heart rate zone from the table below according to the 7. average heart rate recorded. e.g.) Average heart rate at 20 minutes time trial is 100%.
ENG -62 Training for competition Measu re your resting heart rate just afte r waking in the mornin g and your maxi mum heart rate (perhaps during competition).
ENG -63 Continue Use of the target zone When the heart rate is out of the zone during the measurement, the wristwatch sounds an alarm and notifies the rider by flashing . The heart rate zone is se- lected from 5 predetermined zones. For a training aiming at a heart rate of 140 to 160 bpm, select HR.
