Monitoring the heart rate
Heart rate readings will not be accurate near electromagnetic radiation sources (TVs, cellphones, etc.).
Should you have any doubts about the accuracy of the readings, contact the Technical Support Service.
The following table shows the optimum heart rate levels in relation to age and the goal to be achieved. Theoretical maximum
heart rate (100%) is calculated on the basis of age using the formula: 220 - age.
Heart rate per minute
Age
Area reserved for competitive athlete’s

Aerobic zone primarily using fats as energy
source (keep heart rate between 60% and
70%)
Zone of little training interest
