Sample Answer

  • Heart rate monitoring ensures aerobic training stays within 70-85% MHR zones. This works because sustained moderate intensity improves cardiovascular fitness without excessive fatigue. Runners maintain 140-160 bpm throughout sessions. As a result, athletes develop endurance efficiently.
  • For anaerobic training, monitoring shows peak rates (85-95% MHR) and recovery. The reason is reaching target zones ensures sufficient intensity for improvement. HIIT sessions need 170+ bpm during work periods. Therefore, athletes train at optimal intensity while avoiding overtraining.
