Beurer PM 62 - Manual (Page 13)

This heart rate monitor serves to measure the human pulse. By
means of various settings, you can support your individual training
program and monitor your pulse. You should monitor your pulse dur-
ing exercise because you should prevent your heart from excessive
strain on the one hand and on the other in order to achieve the opti-
mal training results.
The table provides you with some information on the selection of your
training zone. The maximum heart rate reduces with advancing age.
Information on the training heart rate must therefore always be in
relation to the maximum heart rate. The following rule of thumb helps
to identify the maximum heart rate:
220 - age = maximum heart rate
The following example applies to a 40-year-old person:220-40=180
This rule of thumb offers only an indication, for exact determination
of the maximum heart rate consult your doctor or trainer.
