What is FATmax? How can I incorporate this value into my training?
Explanation of FATmax
FATmax is the point of highest percentage fat metabolism. At this point, the body obtains energy primarily by burning fats. Training in the FATmax range leads to an effective increase in fat metabolism capacity. A good fat metabolism is the basis for achieving any goal, which means fat metabolism training should always be part of the training, regardless of the individual goal.
Note: Since in practice it is difficult to train at exactly one pulse rate for the entire training time, we can advise you from experience that a training intensity around the FATmax pulse gives you the optimal fat metabolism booster.These articles could also be helpful for you:
