Measuring workout heart rate with your HUAWEI watch/band
| Measuring workout heart rate with your HUAWEI watch/band |
During workouts, your wearable device displays your real-time heart rate and heart rate zone, and notifies you when your heart rate exceeds the pre-set upper limit. For better training results, you're advised to use heart rate zones as a guide for your exercise.
Heart rate measurement during a workout
- After you start a workout, you'll see your real-time heart rate on your wearable screen. At the end of the workout, you can view your average heart rate, maximum heart rate, and heart rate zone-related data on the workout results screen.
- You can view graphs that show the changes in your heart rate, maximum heart rate, and average heart rate for each workout from Exercise records on the Huawei Health home screen.
During a workout, your real-time heart rate will not display if you are not wearing the device. The measurement will resume once you put the device back on.
High heart rate alert during workouts
After a workout is initiated, your wearable device will vibrate and display an alert when your heart rate is over the pre-set upper limit for a certain period of time. You can swipe right on the alert screen to dismiss the notification, or the alert screen will exit automatically after 5 seconds.
- Open Huawei Health, go to , and toggle on High heart rate.
- Tap Heart rate limit, select the upper limit, and tap OK.
If you disable audio reminders for individual workouts, you will be alerted through vibrations and card prompts only, without audio broadcasts.
Setting the heart rate zone calculation method
Open Huawei Health and go to .
- Running: Set Heart rate zones to Maximum heart rate percentage, HRR percentage, or LTHR percentage.
- Other workout modes: Set Heart rate zones to Maximum heart rate percentage or HRR percentage.
- If you select Maximum heart rate percentage as the calculation method, your heart rate zones for different workout intensities (namely Extreme, Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fat-burning, and Warm-up) are calculated based on your maximum heart rate (HRmax = 220 – Your age).
- If you select HRR percentage as the calculation method, your heart rate zones for different workout intensities (namely Advanced anaerobic, Basic anaerobic, Lactate threshold, Advanced aerobic, and Basic aerobic) are calculated based on your heart rate reserve (or HRR, determined by taking your maximal heart rate and subtracting your resting heart rate).
- If you select LTHR percentage as the calculation method, your workout intensity zones (namely Warm-up, Basic aerobic, Advanced aerobic, Lactate threshold, and Anaerobic) are calculated based on different percentages of your lactate threshold heart rate, which is measured during outdoor runs.
