The five commonly recognized heart rate zones are based on a percentage of an individual's maximum heart rate (MHR). The MHR is typically calculated using the formula 220 minus the person's age. The zones are:
Zone 1 - Very Light (50-60% MHR): This zone is ideal for warm-ups, cooldowns, and light recovery exercises. It promotes blood circulation and helps prepare the body for more intense workouts.
Zone 2 - Light (60-70% MHR): This is the aerobic training zone, where the body primarily relies on oxygen to produce energy. It is suitable for longer duration exercises, building endurance, and burning fat.
Zone 3 - Moderate (70-80% MHR): In this zone, individuals begin to push their limits, experiencing increased intensity. It is effective for improving aerobic capacity, stamina, and overall cardiovascular fitness.
Zone 4 - Hard (80-90% MHR): This is the anaerobic zone, where the body relies more on stored glycogen for energy. Training in this zone enhances cardiovascular performance, increases speed, and improves the body's ability to handle lactic acid.
Zone 5 - Maximum (90-100% MHR): This is the highest intensity zone, suitable for short bursts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Training in this zone improves power, speed, and anaerobic capacity.
Individuals can benefit from heart rate zone training by customizing their workouts based on their specific fitness goals
Heart rate zone training offers a personalized and effective approach to cardiovascular exercise. By understanding and utilizing the different heart rate zones, individuals can optimize their workouts, achieve specific fitness objectives, and improve overall cardiovascular health in a systematic and sustainable manner.

The problem with using heart rate based training zones is that you need to calibrate your heart rate (as measured by heart rate monitor) to your individual aerobic and anaerobic thresholds (as measured by blood lactate tests). There is a lot of variation in aerobic/anaerobic thresholds across individuals and over time. The relationship between heart rate and blood lactate is also modality specific, meaning the heart rate that corresponds to zone 2 when you’re running is different from when you’re cycling, swimming, rowing or skiing. Because of this it’s often as good or even better to just estimate training zones based on how you feel. Heart rate IS useful for tracking your fitness. If you keep track of your distance, average pace and average heart rate for runs you can track how your fitness improves over time (heart rate should decrease for the same distance and pace).

@Henningberlin94 2 ай бұрын

I would say, your smart watch estimated zones are good enough. Your heart rate will variate anyway in those zones, so as long as you are around those real zones, your heart rate will eventually be around the accurate zones for long enough. It's not 0s and 1s, it's more a spectrum... Don't have to make it too scientific, as long as you are not an elite athlete.

2 questions ) - How would i program these during the week alongside strength work, conditioning work and sports practice ?(i do jiu jitsu and wrestling, ill lift once a week, im currently trying to do some conditioning like sprints/jumps but its difficult with school/work and ill usually get my cardio from weekend soccer/football with friends) - and then how would i program/periodize these over the course of a season and off season? Would i just do mostly the higher intensity zone 4/5 with a little of zone 2/3 during off season, and then switch it to mostly 2/3 and less 4/5 during the season?

@punteroism 7 ай бұрын

Do you have any programs balencing Tendon/Max Strength Training and Speed Strength Training within the same period? Possibly within the same workout of lift lower body 2x a week? Ameture MMA and Military both have limited time making complex periodization difficult. As well as ability to lift in the week while balancing direct skill training and running. I would be interested in if you had any such programs or video content for generalist athletes. I found your channel as I am interested in developing tendon strength to prevent injury and speed strength to be more explosive. So would like to train both simultaneously.

@rogerpettersson7696 Ай бұрын

Good information in general , but why don't you use the Karvonen formula for calculating the heartrate-zones? The zones should be calculated on the basis of Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) i.e. Max HR- Resting HR, not on the basis of the Max HR. The logic is that you can not get under your resting heart rate so that should be viewed as 0%

“Zone 4” or whatever one calls the zone above your capacity to effectively shuttle lactate (ie above lactate shuttle threshold) is NOT anaerobic. It’s still aerobic. Anaerobic should be Zone 5 - you can do very little at anaerobic level - like minutes.

I am running 12 minutes a mile and my heart beat is 165. For my age group that is 100% at zone 5. Something does not add up.

@davidlakes5087 8 күн бұрын

You are an individual. Ignore the age group. Determine what your personal max heart rate is: After you run a few minutes to get warm, then start to sprint and push yourself to the limit. Alternate between sprinting for maybe a minute and jogging for a minute. Do this repeatedly, and you should reach a higher heart rate with each interval. See how high you can push it. Eventually you will see that your heart rate isn’t going any higher no matter how hard you push yourself. Congratulations! That’s your MHR. Now, you can calculate all your zones correctly based on that.

I think for someone very trained in cardio it’s more like 220 - age + 10, but for a non exercise person yeah 220 - age is pretty accurate, tho it makes me wonder as someone gets older their max heart rate drops, so what does that mean? They’ll never be as athletic? Or is the heart getting more efficient?

Damn, I must have a heart condition or something. I've been running and exercising for years, my resting heart rate is consistently 80bpm and I regularly go for 1 hour runs at 170-180bpm the entire run. Am I putting to much strain on my heart? EDIT: as a teenager I could regularly get my HR over 200bpm UPDATE: Got a fitness watch. My resting HR is around 55 ish. When up and doing casual things it's 80. I just did a 5k in under 25m and my HR averaged 190bpm, maxing at 201bpm. I did push myself to my limit tho, as I am getting back into running after some months

@hsaccount_ 2 ай бұрын

At rest your heart rate should be able to go lower than 80 very often. Average of 80 is ok i guess. If you run for years and nothing random or special in your life you'd say that at some point you can run for one hour with lower bpm. Or youre running insanely fast

Definitely don’t use “fat as a fuel source” running. Once your body uses all the glycogen it’s consuming lean muscle before fat.

@TheMovementSystem 2 ай бұрын

This is really easy to measure actually and we have good data on it. At low intensity (ex: zone 2) the split is ~60-70% of energy from carbs, ~30-40% from fat ~5% or less from protein. In a near carb depleted state (which is rare) the protein contribution can go up to ~10-15% but never really beyond that. And the overall intensity and calorie burn of exercise will be far lower in that state

@konnor9577 7 ай бұрын

You confused sprint intervals to VO2 max training. print intervals are good, but only to build mitochondria density cause your heart rate wont have the time to elevate at maximum during 10 or even 20 seconds. If you want to increase vo2 max which is the reason of zone 2 training, you need to spend as much time at your max or HR or as much to the max as possible. Is a very fast run that you ca probably hold for 4-5 minutes then rest for 4-5 and repeat. Time at vo2 max is the key.

@TumoRuns 7 ай бұрын

Tbh I disagree with a lot of this. Zone 2 doesn’t really stop at 70% of max HR either. Because HR and all of this is so individual, HR training methodologies (such as the maffetone method) are really limiting without understanding your individual HR zones/LT1&2/VO2 max, which you’ll only get from a lab test. My easy runs sit between 65% and 80% of my max HR; I’ve had this verified in the lab, to back up my RPE/watch HR zones. But this video doesn’t really account for any of this 🤷🏼‍♂️😂
