As we will see below, this trend is significantly compromising the quality of "training", affecting the health of users on the one hand and training results on the other.
The first "central" consequence of muscular work, which is sufficiently intense and prolonged, is the increase in heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate. These two parameters, which can be evaluated as the number of acts per unit of time - in the case of HR, we speak beats per minute (bpm) - therefore have a certain importance in evaluating the workload done, in monitoring what is taking place or in forecasting what will have to be done.
The pulsations of the heart, being independent from voluntary control, have a "crucial importance in the management of endurance disciplines - especially aerobic based, even if characterized by the production of high levels of lactic acid: running, cycling, rowing, walking, spinning, aerobics, step, zumba etc.
In this article we will talk about the heart rate as a crucial factor in the management of training - more precisely of the workload - with particular reference to the maximum heart rate (FcMax) and its importance in fitness courses.
