The OwnCal calorie calculation starts when your heart rate reaches 100 bpm. The higher the heart rate, the faster the energy expenditure accumulation. Energy expenditure depends on body weight; the heavier the weight the higher the energy expenditure. Men’s calorie expenditure is more intense than women’s at the same heart rate.
The energy expenditure measurement with Polar Heart
Rate Monitor is most accurate in continuous activities such as walking, cycling and jogging. Polar Heart Rate Monitor shows the energy expenditure in kilocalories (kcal).
1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal).
When you expend calories, your body actually uses fat and carbohydrates as energy resources. The amount of fat from the total calorie expenditure varies between 10% - 60%.
The rest (40% - 90%) is mostly carbohydrates.
The lower the heart rate, the bigger the fat percentage is of the total energy expenditure. If you want to control weight by exercising, it is recommended to aim at as big a fat percentage of total energy expenditure as possible.
Exercise at the lower limit of your OwnZone.
In models M51 and M52, exercise with OwnZone Low.
