Hartslag zones

Zone	Wat het doet	% van je hartslag reserve	Hartslagen per minuut
Langzame duurlopen of herstellopen	Trainen in deze zone verbetert de pompfunctie van je hart en verbetert de zuurstofopname van je spieren. Het lichaam wordt efficiënter in het transport van brandstoffen naar de spieren die aan het werk zijn en leert beter vet als te gebruiken in de stofwisseling.	60-70%	139 - 152
Aerobic zone or "target heart rate zone"	Most effective for overall cardiovascular fitness. Increases your cardio-respitory capacity: that is, the your ability to transport oxygenated blood to the muscle cells and carbon dioxide away from the cells. Also effective for increasing overall muscle strength.	70-80%	152 - 166
Anaerobic zone	The point at which the body cannot remove lactic acid as quickly as it is produced is called the lactate threshold or anaerobic threshold. It generally occurs at about 80-88% of the Heart Rate Reserve. Training in this zone helps to increase the lactate threshold, which improves performance. Training in this zone is hard: your muscles are tired, your breathing is heavy.	80-90%	166 - 179
VO2 max "Red line zone"	You should only train in this zone if you re very fit, and only for very short periods of time. Lactic acid develops quickly as you are operating in oxygen debt to the muscles The value of training in this zone is you can increase your fast twitch muscle fibers which increase speed.	90-100%	179 - 192

This table sets out the conventionally defined heart rate training zones. It is important to note:

The zones are big, and it makes a significant difference where in the zone you train. See the calculation of heart rate training zones.
There is no such thing as a "fat burning zone". That is a widely held myth, caused by a misunderstanding of the science. See the explanation of why there is no fat burning zone.
