Avoid steep climbs, jumps out of turns, or being forced to rideharder than desired by road/wind conditions, esp at beginningof ride.

Occasional periods of continuous riding at level 3 acceptablebut if so must be balanced with comparable periods of lowerintensity training. Avoid extended periods at level 4 and aboveunless mecessitated by terrain.

Best done on rolling to hilly terrain, alone or perhaps with trainingpartner of comparable ability. Attempt to maximize variation in

power during tempo period by attacking climbs, accelerating hardout of turns, etc., while still keeping intensity high enough at alltimes to maintain average power within level 3. Concentrate on notletting average power fall during 2nd half of tempo period asfatigue developes.

Carefully "roll into" 1st interval, making sure that intensity doesnot exceed targeted power during the first few minutes. Thereafter,try to maximuze average power while still keeping perceived effort

just below actual race intensity. During 2nd interval, attempt toreplicate this effort - inability to maintain average power during 2ndinterval within 10 W of that of the 1st efforts indicates either

A) poor pacing (1st interval too intense), and/or B) inadequaterecovery from prior training. Abandon workout if, based on prior experience, perceived effort is excessively high to average power.

Use power data to avoid starting out at an unsustainable intensity,either at the beginning of each interval or during the first few intervals,

and as a "carrot" to maintain intensity during later efforts. Stopbefore completion of all efforts if unable to achieve goal power -if this happens in several consecutive workouts, reduce gal power for next such training session

Effort during routine training should be very high but not quite"all out" - see above. During peaking phase, increase absolutepower, interval duration (e.g., to 2 min), and amount of recoverybetween efforts, and reduce number of repititions to as few as3 or 4. Terminate workout when average power during intervaldecreases by > 10%.

Perform sprints on slight uphill and/or from low velocity so asto maximize fast-twitch fiber recruitment. Terminate workoutwhen maximum power achieved during sprint decreases by> 10%.

Ultimate Heart Rate Zone Calculator Benefits of Zone:Purpose: The real value of Level 1 training is as a controlled, active recovery exercise, performed between morestressful workouts, or at times when higher levels of training are undesirable for mental or physical reasons. It isbelow the level of intensity at which a significant strain is placed on the body functions that limit cyclingperformance. Only slow, oxygen-using muscle fibers will be working. There is a possibility that muscle sugarstores could actually increase during Level 1 Training, provided that there is a high intake of carbohydrate duringthe ride. Furthermore this low intensity level is ideal for improving basic skills, adjusting riding technique andacclimatizing the body to long periods in the saddle. Level 1 is the basis of most club runs, and a very pleasant

Limiting Factors: The major factors that limit training at this level are energy reserves in the form of blood sugarand fluid loss. Appropriate food and drink should therefore be carried on rides in excess of 1 - 2 hours. In an eliteendurance cyclist the major fuel source for that energy will be fat.Frequency: This type of cycling is essential for riders returning to training following enforced inactivity due to anaccident, injury or sickness. Level 1, used as a regular recovery ride, could assist in avoiding chronic fatigue anddestructive efforts of overtraining. However, it will not result in large improvements in performance and cannot beconsidered as a suitable training intensity, even for long rides. See Section "Low Level 2".Purpose : Long training rides at Low Level 2 will have a similar training effect as normal Level 2, but additionallythe body will be forced to continuously recruit, within the working muscles, as many muscle fibers as possible inorder to obtain adequate supplies of muscle glycogen. Also, the ability to use fat as a fuel source will be furtherenhanced. It is important during Low level 2 training that plenty of fluid is consumed without restriction, to avoiddehydration, and there must be a continuous intake of carbohydrate, throughout the ride, to maintain the bloodglucose level. Unless this glycogen replacement process is started immediately and followed by .normal mealshigh in carbohydrate, the ability to train on subsequent days will be severely restricted.Heart Rate: For the road rider particularly there are occasions when an extended long ride at the bottom end ofLevel 2 is desirable. These rides would t icall be erformed at around 45 BPM below MHR and be between 3Frequency: Because of the debilitation effects of exhausting the body's glycogen stores, long duration Low Level2 training should be relatively infrequent; pre-season maximum once per week, and possibly reducing to onceevery ten days or so in season, depending on racing commitments. At least 24 hours recovery is required before

erformin more trainin at Levels 2 3 or 4.Purpose: Training at Level 2 results in a number of important physiological changes. These include: theimprovement of the supply of oxygen to the working muscles by an increase in the heart's capacity to pumpblood; a rise in the total volume of blood; the growth of small blood vessels within the muscles; and the fine tuningof controlled blood flow in the body. The ability of the muscles to use oxygen also improves, through changes inthe biochemistry of the muscle fibers, enabling you to work more efficiently, and at higher work intensities, withoutthe onset of fatigue. A further effect is to encourage the body to use fat as a fuel source in preference to the all-

Heart Rate: Level 2 is the training intensity at which the major biological mechanisms which determine yourperformance as a cyclist start to become taxed. For most riders this level equates to a heartbeat range of 35 - 45BPM below measured maximum heart rate.Sensation: Although this intensity is at a relatively comfortable pace, Level 2 training requires a marked increasein concentration over Level 1. Without this higher degree of concentration the effort can easily drop back to Level

1. Breathing rate becomes more rhythmic and is noticeably deeper. Conversation is possible, but frequent pausesare necessary to regain breathing pattern.Limiting Factors: Frequent rides over 90 minutes at this pace are possible, but longer training rides at thisintensity are very draining (See Section : "Low Level 2"). There is a strong risk of dehydration and of the body'scarbohydrate stores becoming exhausted. This causes blood sugar levels to become very low and can lead todistressing symptoms of muscle weakness and dizziness. This can be avoided by adequate carbohydrate intakeduring the immediately following Level 2 training. The sessions should not exceed two hours when performed on

8/12/2019 421_Morbius Heart Rate Zone Calculator

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/421morbius-heart-rate-zone-calculator 15/26

Frequency: Because Level 2 training is fundamental to improved cycling performance, rides at this intensityshould figure prominently in an elite rider's training program. At least three Level 2 sessions per week areessential, best erformed alone or in a small rou as a stead line-out.Purpose: The objective of Level 3 training is to exercise for a sustained period just at your critical threshold. Sucha workout places a very high load on the body's ability to supply oxygen to the working muscles. Equallyimportant, it stresses the mechanisms which control the fatigue causing the processes that occur within the

muscles at high work rates. Training at this intensity ensures a heavy aerobic stress and should improve theHeart Rate: The Kingcycle Performance Potential Test should give a clear indication of your correct heart rateintensity for Level 3 training. However, a good approximation is to work in the range of 15 to 25 BPM below yourmeasured maximum heart rate.Sensation : Level 3 training is best performed as a continuous steady effort, and the intensity is such that it canonly be sustained for relatively short periods. In practice this should be rides which last between 25 & 30 minutes,plus both a warm-up and warm-down of around 15 minutes each. Breathing rate would be rapid and powerful, butshould remain regular. If on completion you feel that you could have continued the effort for a longer period, thenit is unlikely that the work rate was high enough. Conversely, if during the session you become progressivelyexhausted, with heart rate, breathing rate and muscular pain rising continuously, then the load is too great. Level3 training requires intense concentration and is psychologically very demanding.Limiting Factors: The major factor limiting Level 3 training is the discomfort associated with the failure of thebody to maintain control of the fatigue-causing processes. The depletion of the body's carbohydrate storedramatically affects this type of training so it is important to ensure that you are fully recovered from any previoustraining session. If you perform Level 3 training on indoor apparatus, heat build-up can be a problem. It isFrequency: Although mentally taxing, since Level 3 training will accustom the body to the physical load that willbe encountered in most racing situations, it must be included as an important element of your training program.Two sessions per week at Level 3 intensity performed alone are therefore highly recommended.Purpose: As the primary objective of interval training is to near-maximally load the cardiovascular system byrepeatedly pushing yourself almost to the point of exhaustion, the major benefit is the resistance to short-termfatigue. There are training effects throughout all muscle fibers and maximum power is developed by increasingthe rate at which carbohydrate can be broken down to lactate in the muscles. Therefore, specific skills such asHeart Rate: Level 4 training is based on repetitions of intervals of hard efforts and recovery with the work effortsnear or at your maximum heart rate.Sensation: Training at Level 4 requires you to work at intervals of intensity above your critical threshold so steady-state exercise is no longer physically possible. Recovery time between each of a series of work repetitions willvary, depending on the type of training being undertaken and whether full or partial recovery is desired. Theduration of the work efforts should be between 30 seconds and 3 minutes and rest intervals from around 1 to 2Limiting Factors: Carbohydrate is the only fuel source for Level 4 training. Since the efforts involved require thefull recruitment of muscle fibers, the training will be limited by a failure to supply energy to the muscles at the raterequired to maintain power output. This failure will be the result of a combination of large increases in muscleacidity, inability to supply sufficient oxygen to the muscles, and a depletion of carbohydrate stores.Frequency : Detailed information in interval training is beyond the scope of these guidelines, and advice from yourcoach, or further reading is strongly recommended. Level 4 is the most demanding form of training both physicallyand psychologically and it will not replace the vital endurance training as performed at Levels 2 and 3. In practicalterms, Level 4 training can be though of as icing on the cake of a training program in that it tunes all the basic

s Utlimate Heart Rate Zone Calculator Benefits of Zone:This is the safest, most comfortable zone, reached by walking briskly. Here you strengthen your heart andimprove muscle mass while you reduce body fat, cholesterol, blood pressure, and your risk for degenerative

disease. You get healthier in this zone, but not more fit -- that is, it won't increase your endurance or strength butit will increase your health. It's also the zone for warming up and cooling down before and after more vigorousIt's easily reached by jogging slowly. While still a relatively low level of effort, this zone starts training your body toincrease the rate of fat release from the cells to the muscles for fuel. Some people call this "the fat burning zone"because up to 85 % of the total calories burned in this zone are fat calories that is equally as important. Fit andunfit people burn fat differently. The more fit you are, the more effectively you use fat to maintain a healthy weight.On the other hand, perhaps you've been exercising vigorously, but not losing the weight you expected to. Could

'In this zone -- reached by running easily as an example -- you improve your functional capacity. The number andsize of your blood vessels actually increase, you step up your lung capacity and respiratory rate, and your heartincreases in size and strength so you can exercise longer before becoming fatigued. You're still metabolising fatsand carbohydrates at about a 50-50 rate which means both are burning at the same ratio.This zone is reached by going hard -- running faster. Here you get faster and fitter, increasing your heart rate asyou cross from aerobic to anaerobic training. At this point, your heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen tosupply the exercising muscles fully so they respond by continuing to contract anaerobically. This is where you"feel the burn." You can stay in this zone for a limited amount of time, usually not more than an hour. That'sbecause the muscle just cannot sustain working anaerobically (this means without sufficient oxygen) withoutfatiguing. The working muscles protect themselves from overwork by not being able to maintain the intensityThis is the equivalent of running all out and is used mostly as an "interval" training regiment -- exertion done onlyin short to intermediate length bursts. Even world-class athletes can stay n this zone for only a few minutes at atime. It's not a zone most people will select for exercise since working out here hurts and there is an increased

Labs Utlimate Heart Rate Zone Calculator Benefits of Zone:Training within this zone develops basic endurance and aerobic capacity. All easy recovery running should becompleted at a maximum of 70%. Another advantage to running in this zone is that while you are happily fat

burning you may lose weight and you will be allowing your muscles to re-energise with glycogen, which has beenTraining in this zone will develop your cardiovascular system. The body's ability to transport oxygen to, andcarbon dioxide away from, the working muscles can be developed and improved. As you become fitter andstronger from training in this zone it will be possible to run some of your long weekend runs at up to 75%, soTraining in this zone will develop your lactic acid system. In this zone your individual anaerobic threshold is found -sometimes referred to the point of deflection (POD). During these heart rates the amount of fat being utilised asthe main source of energy is greatly reduced and glycogen stored in the muscle is predominantly used. One ofthe by-products of burning this glycogen, is the runners worst enemy, lactic acid. There is a point at which thebody can no longer remove the lactic acid from the working muscles quickly enough. This happens at anindividual heart rate for us all and is accompanied by a rapid rise in heart rate and a slowing of your running pace.This is your anaerobic threshold or POD. Through the correct training it is possible to delay the POD by beingTraining in this zone will only be possible for short periods of time. It effectively trains your fast twitch muscle

fibres and helps to develop speed. This zone is reserved for interval running and only the very fit are able to train

bius Labs Utlimate Heart Rate Zone Calculator Benefits Of Zone

As with any previous training system, such as heart rate, each zone is specifically aimed at various physiologicalcriteria.

Recovery Zone: This zone is designed to be a very light workload, such that it causes no significant adaptations,and also limits the cyclist to an easy session, thus preventing a build up of fatigue, or to help in the return afterbeing ill/injured.

Zones 1-3: These zones are primarily designed to help with endurance, allowing high volume, low intensity workto be completed. Zone 2 forms the 'core' of an endurance cyclist's training programme. At the lower zone,fat is the predominant fuel source, with carbohydrate usage increasing as intensity increases.

Zone 4-5: These zones are increasing in intensity, and somewhat-to-very fatiguing. Time trials, and solo/smallgroup 'breaks' in road races are at this level. Lactate levels are just below to above 'threshold', andcarbohydrates are the main energy supply.

Zone 6-7: These zones are maximal, and accordingly, rely solely on carbohydrate as the fuel supply. Beforeattempting training in these zones, the rider must be fully recovered and mentally 'up' for it. At this intensity, therider is bridging a small gap, or climbing a moderate hill (for example, one that takes up to five minutes) atmaximal effort. Physiologically, you're at VO 2 max or above.

Dr. Kanopka was team doctor to the German National Cycling Association. He is a highly respectedcycling coach who has published numerous books, brochures and articles. In his book 'Cycle Sport'.Dr. Kanopka defines six levels of training intensity, based entirely on age.

His zones are calculated by THR = 150 + (10 x Level) - Age .

Note: I tried to find better descriptions of what these zones accomplish as I have on the others,however, there isn't very much information available. It may possibly be due to the fact that this issomewhat dated material.

Labs Utlimate Heart Rate Zone Calculator Benefits of Zone:These guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) are intended to helphealthy people to stay that way. The information is given out for free by the University of Illinois.

This Zone includes everything from very light exercise, almost up to the anaerobic threshold. Itis rather difficult to ride a bike and not be within these guidelines.
