Zone 2 heart rate training is aerobic base training at 60–70% of heart rate reserve. It builds mitochondrial density, improves fat oxidation, and develops cardiovascular efficiency with minimal recovery cost.

Guida passo passo

  1. 1Max HR = 220 − age (Tanaka formula: 208 − 0.7 × age is more accurate)
  2. 2Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) = Max HR − Resting HR
  3. 3Zone 2 = Resting HR + (HRR × 0.60) to Resting HR + (HRR × 0.70)
  4. 4The Karvonen formula accounts for individual resting heart rate

Domande frequenti

What is Zone 2 training?

Low-intensity aerobic work (can sustain conversation). Builds aerobic base, burns fat, recovers well. 60–70% max heart rate.

Why Zone 2 specifically?

Below Zone 2 is too easy; above it becomes harder work. Zone 2 is the sweet spot for endurance and consistency.

How accurate is max HR estimation?

220 - age is rough. Lab test or field test (all-out effort) is more accurate. Fitness level and genetics affect max HR.
