About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their
cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone
is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate
zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally,
heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart
rate.
Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by
understanding and applying these principles.
- Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
- Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.
- Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone
Calculations, page 17) to determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness
objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators
available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test
that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus
your age.
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips.
-
Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if applicable).
-
Tighten the strap on your chest.
-
Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor, page 13).
-
Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signals. -
Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart rate monitor.
Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.
Installing the Speed Sensor
NOTE: If you do not have this sensor, you can skip this task.
TIP: Garmin recommends you secure your bike on a stand while installing
the sensor.
-
Place and hold the speed sensor on top of the wheel hub.
-
Pull the strap around the wheel hub, and attach it to the hook on the sensor.
The sensor may be tilted when installed on an asymmetrical hub. This does not affect operation. -
Rotate the wheel to check for clearance. The sensor should not contact other parts of your bike.
NOTE: The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate activity after two revolutions.
Installing the Cadence Sensor
NOTE: If you do not have this sensor, you can skip this task.
TIP: Garmin recommends you secure your bike on a stand while installing
the sensor.
-
Select the band size that fits your crank arm securely.
The band you select should be the smallest one that stretches across the crank arm. -
On the non-drive side, place and hold the flat side of the cadence sensor on the inside of the crank arm.
-
Pull the bands around the crank arm, and attach them to the hooks on the sensor.
-
Rotate the crank arm to check for clearance. The sensor and bands should not contact any part of your bike or shoe.
NOTE: The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate activity after two revolutions. -
Take a 15 minute test ride and inspect the sensor and bands to ensure there is no evidence of damage.
About the Speed and Cadence Sensors
Cadence data from the cadence sensor is always recorded. If no speed and
cadence sensors are paired with the device, GPS data is used to calculate the
speed and distance. Cadence is your rate of pedaling or “spinning” measured by
the number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm).
Installing the GSCTM 10
NOTE: If you do not have a GSC 10, you can skip this task. Both magnets must be aligned with their respective indication lines for the Edge to receive data.
-
Place the GSC 10 on the rear chain stay (on the side opposite the drive train).
-
If necessary, place the flat rubber pad or the triangle-
shaped rubber pad between the GSC 10 and the chain stay for stability.
-
Loosely attach the GSC 10 using two cable ties .
-
Attach the pedal magnet to the crank arm using the adhesive mount and a cable tie .
The pedal magnet must be within 5 mm of the GSC 10. The indication line on the pedal magnet must line up with the indication line on the GSC 10. -
Unscrew the spoke magnet from the plastic piece.
-
Place the spoke in the groove of the plastic piece, and tighten it slightly. The spoke magnet can face away from the GSC 10 if there is not enough room between the sensor arm and the spoke. The spoke magnet must line up with the indication line on the sensor arm.
-
Loosen the screw on the sensor arm.
-
Move the sensor arm to within 5 mm of the spoke magnet. You can also tilt the GSC 10 closer to either magnet to improve alignment.
-
Select Reset on the GSC 10.
The LED turns red, then green. -
Pedal to test the sensor alignment.
The red LED blinks each time the pedal magnet passes the sensor. The green LED blinks each time the spoke magnet passes the sensor arm.
NOTE: The LED blinks for the first 60 passes after a reset. Select Reset again if you require additional passes. -
When everything is aligned and working correctly, tighten the cable ties, the sensor arm, and the spoke magnet. Garmin recommends that the torque is 1.9 to 2.4 lbf-in. (0.21 to 0.27 N-m) to ensure a water tight seal on the GSC 10 sensor arm.
About the GSC 10
Cadence data from the GSC 10 is always recorded. If there is no GSC 10 paired,
GPS data is used to calculate the speed and distance.
Cadence is your rate of pedaling or “spinning” measured by the number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm). There are two sensors on the GSC 10: one for cadence and one for speed.
Data Averaging for Cadence or Power
The non-zero data-averaging setting is available if you are training with an
optional cadence sensor or power meter. The default setting is to exclude zero
values that occur when you are not pedaling. To change this setting, see Data
Recording Settings, page 13.
Training with Power Meters
