•Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.

•The proximity of other electronic machines can generate interference.

CHR detection may be limited to walking or slow jogging due to the extreme muscle artifacts and hand motion generated by a comfortable running style. If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.

Heart Rate Calculations

Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training influences the decrease in maximum heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to find this value by completing a stress test than by using an age related formula.

Your at-rest heart rate is influenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, where as highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.

The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.
