The following table shows the optimum heart rate levels in relation to age and
the goal to be achieved. Theoretical maximum heart rate (100%) is calculated
on the basis of age using the formula: 220 - age.
Bike Forma - User's manual
To read the graph, simply find your age on the horizontal axis and scan up the
vertical until you reach the 60%, 70% and 90% values.
Aerobic exercise performed at a heart rate between 60% and 70% mainly burns
fat as an energy source.
When doing aerobic exercise at a heart rate of 70% to 90% the cardiocirculatory
component prevails.
Age
Heart rate per minute
Area reserved to competitive athletes’ workouts (requiring a
doctor’s certificate)
Aerobic zone with a primarily cardio-circulatory component (keep
heart rate between 70% and 90%)
Aerobic zone primarily using fats as an energy source (keep
heart rate between 60% and 70%)
Zone of little training interest
