Energy supply with insufficient oxygen. There is an accumulation of lactic acid.
Energy supply with sufficient oxygen. No accumulation of lactic acid.
Under this threshold the energy need of the muscle is mainly processed by the aerobic energy supply. The aerobe threshold heartbeat is approximately 75% of the anaerobe threshold.
The energy supply in this area is both aerobic and anaerobic. Lactic acid shaping increases by there faster running. The increase of the lactic acid shaping can be neutralised still mainly elsewhere in the body.
Beyond this border the lactic acidification will increase rapidly. Estimate: 80 % (beginners) to 90 % (advanced) of the maximum heart rate.
Test to stipulate the break-even point without pricking blood.
The number of heartbeats per minute. The heart rate is a good measure for the intensity of the training effort, because there is a linear relationship between heart rate and intensity.
The desired heart rate zone (lower and upper heart rate limits) can be set set on a heart rate monitor. This feature makes it easier to achieve the objective of the training.
Determining your recovery heart rate immediately after a workout is a great method for determining your fitness.
See lactic acid.
The maximum achievable heart rate during maximum effort.
Estimate: 220 - age.
Is independent of the training condition! Decreases after the fortieth
about 1 beat per minute per year.
The maximum quantity oxygen which the body take during maximum effort.
Accumulation of waste products in the muscles during exertion above the anaerobic threshold.
See anaerobic threshold.
The number of heartbeats per minute at rest. An elevated resting pulse may not be sufficient mean recovery or are indications of an emerging cold, flu or infection.
The area in which you train. Also see heart rate limits.
