cardio zones

Hi, last night I carried out the test with my enduro device to calculate my anaerobic threshold, in theory I thought that my zones in the app updated automatically, but to date nothing has changed... do I have to enter the value manually?
Thanks, Paul.

Hi, are your heart rate zones are set to use %LTHR? If so then they should update automatically whenever a new LTHR is detected.

hi, I set them to % heart rate reserve

Heart rate reserve is based on maximum heart rate and resting heart rate, so the anaerobic threshold doesn't affect it. But if you change it to %LTHR, then the zones are calculated based on the threshold and updated when the threshold changes.

ok thanks, I thought they would update anyway

0 Bitti over 1 year ago in reply to Paolo.Ro

Zones based on heart rate reserve don't update unless your maximum heart rate or resting heart rate change (because those are the only things affecting heart rate reserve). And similarly, if you base your zones on anaerobic/lactate threshold, the zones won't change if maximum heart rate or resting heart rate change (since the threshold is the only thing affecting the zones).

of course yes I understand thank you very much!!!
