If you are serious about fitness, health, and performance, then Heart Rate Training, Second Edition, is for you. With a myriad of affordable smartphone apps and wearable devices enabling you to track your body’s response to activity, it’s never been easier to use heart rate monitoring to customize your training - and this guide will show you how!

From your own experiences with exercise, you know that there are different types of fitness. Some people are better at biking than swimming, some people are better at speed than distance, some people are very strong but can’t run very far. Each of these situations requires a different type of fitness and a different energy system, which we discuss in this book. Common terms related to fitness that you may be familiar with are aerobic and anaerobic fitness, which in simple terms refer to longer, slower exercise (aerobic) and shorter, faster exercise (anaerobic).

The way people move in different sports reveals that different sports have different fitness requirements and therefore different energy needs. For example, the soccer player is constantly starting and stopping or jogging and sprinting, the tennis player is stopping and starting rapidly, and the distance runner exercises, more or less, at the same speed continuously. Because sports require different movement patterns, they require different types of training. To understand the various phases of your training program, you must have a basic understanding of the different types of fitness and the energy systems that provide your fuel. If you are an endurance athlete, you also need to understand the factors that affect the way these energy systems operate.

In Heart Rate Training, Second Edition, authors Roy Benson and Declan Connolly combine decades of coaching experience, scientific research, and practical knowledge to help you understand the best way to make your heart rate monitor work for you. They will show you how to get reliable data from your device, dispel myths surrounding heart rate monitors, and make it easy for you to calculate your ideal target heart rate. Then you’ll learn how to customize your training by varying the intensity, duration, frequency, and mode of your exercise sessions as you work toward improving endurance, stamina, economy, and speed.

Information on heart rate variability (HRV) training further prepares you to individualize your training plan based on your personal goals. As a bonus, sample exercise programs will guide you in manipulating training components to design long-term training plans for walking, running, cycling, swimming, triathlons, rowing, cross-country skiing, and team sports.

When you are ready to take training and performance to the next level, turn to Heart Rate Training, and achieve your personal best.
