7.3. Training Zones
Training zones are essential for heart-based monitoring training. MySportTraining helps
you identifying your training zone if you use a heart rate monitor:
 Choose Today > Fitness Tools > Training Zones. The Training Zones window
is shown (see Figure 20).
 Enter your maximum heart rate. The default is set to 220 minus your age,
provided you entered your birth year in the profile. Note that this formula is just
an estimate, and your actual maximum heart rate may vary by as much as +/- 20.
 The training zones are automatically calculated and each training zone is defined
as a range expressed as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate (HR). The
exact calculation is detailed on the next page in Table 1.
 To show the heart rate ranges in percentage, select Show values as %.
 If your heart rate monitor only allows you to enter your target zone's minimum
and maximum as multiples of 5, select Use 5-beat increments option to round up
values as multiples of 5.
