Useful tools to establish power and heart rate performance metrics.
Setting accurate heart rate zones in cycling optimizes training by targeting specific intensities based on individual physiological responses, enhancing efficiency, and effectiveness while minimizing the risk of overtraining or undertraining. Tracking workouts within these zones provides insights into progress and enables adjustments for continued growth and peak performance.
Active Recovery: This zone denotes very light exercise, promoting blood flow and aiding in muscle recovery after intense workouts.
Endurance: The endurance zone involves moderate-intensity exercise, improving cardiovascular fitness and allowing sustained effort over longer durations.
Tempo: Tempo zone indicate a moderately high-intensity effort, enhancing aerobic capacity and increasing lactate threshold.
Threshold: Threshold zone represent efforts just below the lactate threshold, enhancing the body's ability to sustain high-intensity exercise.
VO2 Max: VO2 max zone denote high-intensity exercise aimed at improving maximal oxygen consumption, vital for peak athletic performance.
Anaerobic Capacity: This zone focuses on very high-intensity exercise, primarily utilizing anaerobic energy systems, to increase the body's capacity for short bursts of intense activity.
Recovery: This zone indicates very light exercise, facilitating active recovery and promoting blood circulation to aid in muscle repair and recovery.
Aerobic: The aerobic zone involves moderate-intensity exercise, enhancing cardiovascular endurance and utilizing oxygen to fuel activity efficiently.
Tempo: Tempo zones represent a moderately high-intensity effort, improving aerobic and anaerobic fitness and increasing lactate threshold.
SubThreshold: SubThreshold zones denote efforts just below the lactate threshold, improving endurance and the body's ability to sustain prolonged exercise.
SuperThreshold: SuperThreshold zones represent efforts above the lactate threshold, focusing on high-intensity intervals to enhance anaerobic capacity and performance.
Aerobic Capacity: This zone involves high-intensity exercise aimed at improving maximal oxygen consumption and overall aerobic performance.
Anaerobic Capacity: Anaerobic Capacity zones focus on very high-intensity efforts, primarily utilizing anaerobic energy systems to increase the body's capacity for short bursts of intense activity.
Active Recovery: This zone denotes light exercise, aiding in muscle recovery and promoting blood flow without adding significant stress to the body.
Aerobic capacity: Aerobic capacity zones focus on high-intensity exercise aimed at improving the body's maximal oxygen uptake and endurance.
Tempo: Tempo zone represent moderately high-intensity efforts, enhancing both aerobic and anaerobic fitness while increasing lactate threshold.
Threshold: Threshold zone indicate efforts just below the lactate threshold, improving the body's ability to sustain high-intensity exercise over longer durations.
VO2 Max: VO2 Max zones denote high-intensity exercise targeting maximal oxygen consumption, crucial for improving aerobic performance and endurance.
