The heart rate (Hr) is displayed in beats per minute.
1. Maximum Heart rate- Maximum test
The maximum heart rate Hr MAX is your present maximum heart
rate if you go to the limits of your capability. The individual Hr max
depends on your age, your sex and your fitness level. The best
way to determine the individual Hr max is a stress test.
We recommend you to see a doctor to do this test and to
repeat it regularly
The Hr max may also be estimated by means of the following
mathematical equation.
Men: 210 – half age – (0.11 x personal weight +4)
Women: 210 – half age – (0.11 x personal weight)
