General information for training
This heart rate monitor serves primarily 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 ideal 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
