Treadmills with heart rate-dependent programs

Heart rate-dependent programs

— the presence of a treadmill so-called heart rate-dependent workout program. This name is because in the heart rate-dependent mode, the treadmill monitors the athlete's heart rate and, if necessary, changes the load in such a way that the pulse remains constantly at a certain level. The simplest version of heart rate-dependent programs is the constant heart rate mode when the frequency is maintained unchanged throughout the entire workout; however, there are also more complex programs. The importance of maintaining a heart rate is because its optimal rate will be different depending on the purpose of the training — burning fat, strengthening the cardiovascular system, maintaining shape, etc. Specific data on optimal heart rate values can be obtained from specialized sources or fitness specialists.
