The words ‘‘interval training’‘ can strike fear in the hearts of even the most athletic men and women.

Finding Maximum Heart Rate is Tricky

Finding maximum heart rate is tricky

Using a heart rate monitor can help with a workout program, but physiologists say it is important to understand the limitations of these devices.

The monitors measure heart rate accurately. To guide exercise programs, they typically establish training zones set as a percentage of the user’s maximum heart rate – 60 percent to 70 percent for basic fitness, for example, 70 percent to 80 percent for improving aerobic endurance – or employ other protocols based at least partly on heart rate.
