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 or Calorie) = 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.
Exercise with OwnZone Low.
