[Health Article]Heart Rate Training Zones

   Today I will teach you about the important things that you should pay attention about it

   Heart Rate Training Zones

   Heart rate training zones are calculated by taking into consideration your Maximum Heart Rate (HRmax) and your Resting Heart Rate (HRrest). Within each training zone, subtle physiological effects take place to enhance your fitness.


   The Energy Efficient or Recovery Zone - 60% to 70%

   Training within this zone develops basic endurance and aerobic capacity. All easy recovery running should be completed at a maximum of 70%.  It's called Fat Burn Zone, another advantage that can found to running in this zone is that while you are happily fat burning you tend to lose weight and you will be allowing your muscles to re-energise with glycogen, which has been expended during those faster paced workouts.


   The Aerobic Zone - 70% to 80%

   Training in this zone will develop your cardiovascular system. In addition, the body's ability to transport O2(oxygen), and Co2(carbon dioxide) away from, the working muscles can be developed and improved. As you become fitter and stronger from training in this zone. That's the best part, and it can will be possible to run some of your long weekend runs at up to 75%.Therefore, getting the benefits of some fat burning and improved aerobic capacity.


   The Anaerobic Zone - 80% to 90%

   Training in this zone will develop your lactic acid system which make you feel fatigued. In this zone, your individual anaerobic threshold (AT) is found - sometimes referred to the point of deflection (POD). During these heart rates, the amount of fat being utilised as the main source of energy is greatly reduced and glycogen stored in the muscle is predominantly used. One of the by-products of burning this glycogen is lactic acid. There is a point at which the body can no longer remove the lactic acid from the working muscles quickly enough. This is your anaerobic threshold (AT). Through the correct training, it is possible to delay the AT by being able to increase your ability to deal with the lactic acid for a longer period of time or by pushing the AT higher.
