MHR% DESCRIPTION
65-78% This is the lowest training
intensity level. It is good for
beginners and those who
want to strengthen their
cardiovascular systems.
65-85% Increases strength and
endurance. It works
within the body's oxygen
intake capability, burns
more calories, and can
be maintained for a long
period of time.
78-90% Generates speed and
power. It works at or above
the body's oxygen intake
capability, builds muscle,
and cannot be maintained
for a long period of time.
UPPER LIMIT
MHR x upper target
activity %.
E.g. Target activity is 0
Upper Limit =
MHR x 78%
