heart rate zone
Cardiovascular effort band
A heart rate zone is a range of heartbeats per minute used to calibrate exercise intensity.
Training programs typically divide effort into five zones, from easy recovery pace to maximum exertion: I kept my heart rate in zone two for the entire run.
Each zone targets different physiological adaptations—fat burning, endurance, speed, or peak power.
