We all know that to do sports it is highly recommended to wear a heart rate monitor, with which we must control the heart rate that we carry during the exercise that we want. It is necessary to know, at all times, how many heartbeats we have and avoid exceeding our maximum heart rate.
To calculate our maximum heart rate, we have to subtract our age from 220, which will give us the number of beats per minute that we should never exceed in our sport favorite.For example, if you are 38 years old, you should never exceed (220-38=182) 182 beats per minute while exercising.
Runtastic PRO , as we mentioned at the beginning, provides us with information about heart rates, which is most interesting.
HEART RATE IN RUNTASTIC PRO:
It is clear that for those who use this application to monitor all the exercise they perform, like us, it is best to buy the heart rate monitor offered by this great sports application development company, but if it is not possible for you and We use another type of heart rate monitor, the information that this app offers us is equally interesting and can help us a lot in our training.
If we enter the application, access the side menu and click on Settings, we will access this screen
In it we must click on the « HEART RATE » option and, after this, we will press the « HEART RATE ZONES « option, which leads us to this interesting screen.
In it we can configure, by clicking on each of the boxes where it says PPM, the heart rate of each band of pulsations.
To find out more about each one of them, clicking on the one we want will show us interesting information about each strip
To find out which are the ideal pulsations in each of the bands that appear, here we provide you with an image that will help us calculate them.
The colors that appear in the previous image do not match those that appear in the app, but the stripes are the same.
If 100% is our maximum heart rate is 182, in the FAT BURNING range, for example, we should set a Pulse Per Minute (BPM) of 60%-70%. To calculate this we will make a rule of three.
Although we don't use a heart rate monitor that can be linked to Runtastic, we can apply the information provided by the application regardless of the heart rate monitor we use.
With this, we hope we have helped you understand a little more, thanks to an app, the heart rate that we have to carry out in our exercises, to achieve the effect we want on our body, without ever exceeding our maximum PPM.
