Defintion for Heart rate zones
Heart rate zones are specific ranges of heartbeats per minute that correspond to different levels of exercise intensity, used to optimize cardiovascular training and monitor exertion.
Long Definition
Heart rate zones categorize exercise intensity based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate, guiding training for specific fitness goals. Zone 1 (50-60%): active recovery; Zone 2 (60-70%): endurance building; Zone 3 (70-80%): aerobic capacity; Zone 4 (80-90%): lactate threshold; Zone 5 (90-100%): peak performance. Real-world examples include using Zone 2 for long runs and Zone 4 for tempo runs. Understanding these zones helps runners optimize training, prevent overtraining, and improve performance by targeting specific physiological adaptations.
