5.1 OWNZONE LIMITS

Your running computer is able to determine your individual

aerobic (cardiovascular) heart rate zone automatically. This

is called OwnZone (OZ). OwnZone ensures that you exercise

within safe limits.

The OwnZone feature determines your personal training zone

primarily based on your heart rate variability. For most

adults, OwnZone corresponds to 65-85% of maximum

heart rate. The OwnZone varies daily, depending on your

physical condition and mental state (for example, if you are

not recovered from the previous training or feel stressed).

OwnZone limits can be determined in 1-5 minutes during

a warm-up period by walking, jogging, or doing some other

sport. The main idea is that you start exercising slowly at a

light intensity and then gradually increase the intensity by

raising your heart rate.

OwnZone has been developed for healthy people. Some health

conditions may cause heart rate variability based OwnZone

determination to fail, for example high blood pressure,

certain cardiac arrhythmias, and certain medications.

Determining Your OwnZone Heart Rate Limits

Before you start to determine your OwnZone, make sure that:

• You entered your user settings correctly.

• You select the OwnZone exercise. Every time you start the

OwnZone exercise, the running computer will automatically

determine your OwnZone.

You should redeﬁ ne your OwnZone:

• When changing your exercise environment or the exercise mode.

• If you are returning to exercise after more than one week off.

• If you feel unusual about the physical state of your body

when starting to exercise. For example you are stressed,

not recovered from the previous training or not feeling well.

• After changing your settings.

1. Start your exercise as described in the chapter Exercising

on page 9.

2. When you have pressed the Red button and your exercise starts,

Finding OwnZone is displayed and the OwnZone determination

begins. The OwnZone symbol appears in the display.

Alternatively, to skip OwnZone determination and use the

previously determined OwnZone, press the Red button.
