this zone is especially effective for improving the efficiency of blood
circulation in the heart and skeletal muscles.
If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate
zones 4 and 5. In these zones, you exercise anaerobically in intervals of up to
10 minutes. The shorter the interval, the higher the intensity. Sufficient
recovery between intervals is very important. The training pattern in zones 4
and 5 is designed to produce peak performance.
The Polar target heart rate zones can be personalized by using a laboratory
measured HRmax value, or by taking a field test to measure the value
yourself. When training in a target heart rate zone, try to make use of the
entire zone. The mid-zone is a good target, but keeping your heart rate at
that exact level all the time is not necessary. Heart rate gradually adjusts to
training intensity. For instance, when crossing from heart rate target zone 1
to 3, the circulatory system and heart rate will adjust in 3-5 minutes.
Heart rate responds to training intensity depending on factors such as fitness
and recovery levels, as well as environmental factors. It is important to look
out for subjective feelings of fatigue, and to adjust your training program
accordingly.
