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.

HRsit is used to estimate energy expenditure. To determine your HRsit easily, wear your transmitter, sit down and do not
