What is the Heart Rate Zone Calculator – Training Zones?

The heart rate zone calculator calculates training zones as percentages of maximum heart rate. Different zones develop different attributes: the aerobic zone (60–70%) burns fat, while the anaerobic zone (80–90%) improves speed.

The calculator is completely free, works directly in the browser, and does not store personal data. All calculators on this site are based on up-to-date information.

Calculation Principle

Maximum heart rate (estimate) = 220 − age. Zones: Z1 50–60%, Z2 60–70%, Z3 70–80%, Z4 80–90%, Z5 90–100%.

Enter your measurements into the calculator fields and press the calculate button – the result will be displayed immediately. You can try different values to compare various scenarios.

Practical Example

35 years old, HRmax = 185 bpm. Z2 (aerobic) = 111–130 bpm. Z4 (interval) = 148–167 bpm.

The result is an estimate – for accurate clinical measurements, consult a healthcare professional.

Purpose of the Calculator

The calculator is suitable for self-directed health monitoring, training planning, and general health literacy. Tracking values over time provides valuable information about changes in the body.

Remember that a single measurement result does not tell the whole story – what matters more is the direction and trend over multiple measurement periods.

Practical Tips

  • A heart rate monitor or smartwatch provides real-time feedback on training intensity.
  • The 80/20 principle: 80% of training in Z2, 20% in Z4–Z5 has proven to be the most effective in the long run.
  • Heart rate variability (HRV) indicates recovery – track it in the mornings.
