ENGLISH

Maximum Heart Rate (HRmax)

HRmax is used to estimate energy expenditure. HRmax is the highest number of heartbeats per minute during maximum physical exertion. HRmax is also useful when determining exercise intensity. The most accurate method for determining your individual HRmax is to perform a maximal exercise stress test in a laboratory.

Heart Rate Value in a Sitting Position (HRsit)

HRsit is used to estimate energy expenditure. HRsit is your typical heart rate when you are not doing any physical activity (while sitting). To determine your HR sit easily, wear the transmitter, hold your cycling computer in your hand, sit down and do not engage in any physical activity. After two or three minutes, press OK in time mode to view your heart rate. This value is your HRsit.
