01Is the Heart Rate Zone Calculator free and private?
Yes. It is free, runs in your browser, requires no account, and does not store the measurements you enter.
02Can I use this result as medical advice?
No. This result is an educational estimate, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. A qualified professional can interpret it within your complete health and training context.
03Why might my Heart Zones result differ from a real-world result?
Medication, heat, hydration, stress, sleep, illness, and the age-based maximum-heart-rate equation can shift an appropriate training zone.
04How often should I recalculate Heart Zones?
Recalculate when age, resting heart rate, or selected intensity changes. If medication or health status changes, ask a qualified clinician whether formula-based targets are appropriate.
