Zone calculation method

Choose HRR or HRM

You can choose how ZonePoints calculates your heart rate zones, using either Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) or Heart Rate Max (HRM).

Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)

HRR is the more demanding method. Zones are set by how hard you are working above your resting heart rate, so it reflects your real training effort more accurately. This method needs you to set your resting heart rate.

Heart Rate Max (HRM)

HRM uses your maximum heart rate directly to set zones. It is simpler and works for any activity level. But it is less precise about training intensity. Selecting HRM disables resting heart rate because this method doesn’t need it.

How to Change

Open Settings and look for Zone Calculation Method. Tap to switch between HRR and HRM. Your zones update immediately.
