Fitness Goals

Heart rate zones help measure and improve fitness. Training in specific zones can enhance cardiovascular capacity. Use the provided tables or online calculators to determine your heart rate zones based on maximum heart rate (default: 220 minus age).

About Heart Rate Zones

Heart rate zones are ranges of heartbeats per minute, categorized from 1 to 5 by intensity. They are typically calculated as percentages of maximum heart rate and offer benefits like improved aerobic capacity and anaerobic threshold.

Heart Rate Zone Calculations

Zone	% of Maximum Heart Rate	Perceived Exertion	Benefits
1	50-60%	Relaxed, easy pace, rhythmic breathing, conversation possible	Beginning-level aerobic training, reduces stress
3	70-80%	Moderate pace, more difficult to hold conversation	Improved aerobic capacity, optimal cardiovascular training
4	80-90%	Fast pace and a bit uncomfortable, breathing forceful	Improved anaerobic capacity and threshold, improved speed
5	90-100%	Sprint pace, unsustainable for long period of time, labored breathing	Anaerobic and muscular endurance, increased power

VO2 Max. Standard Ratings

Tables provide standardized classifications for VO2 max. estimates by age and gender for males and females, categorized as Superior, Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor.
