Fat burning (weight management):
The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In order to achieve this training goal, a low training
intensity (approximately 55% of the maximum heart rate) and a longer training period are required.
Cardiovascular training (cardio training):
The primary goal is to increase stamina and fitness through an improved provision of oxygen through
the cardiovascular system. In order to achieve this training goal, medium intensity (approximately
75% of the maximum heart rate) with a medium training period is required.
Anaerobic (maximum) load training:
The main goal of maximum load training is to improve recovery after short, intense loads in order to
be able to quickly return to the aerobic zone. In order to achieve this training goal, a high intensity
(approximately 90% of the maximum heart rate) with short, intense load is required, which is followed
by a recovery phase in order to prevent muscle fatigue.
Example:
For a 45-year-old man or woman, the maximum heart rate is 175 (220 - 45 = 175).
• The fat burning target zone (55%) is at approximately 96 beats/min.
= (220 - age) x 0.55.
• The cardio target zone (75%) is at approximately 131 beats/min.
= (220 - age) x 0.75.
• The maximum heart rate for an anaerobic load training (90%) is at approximately 157 beats/min. =
(220 - age) x 0.9.
