Corridors for endurance training. adapted according to [154]

Intensity VO2peak [%] HRpeak [%] HRR [%] RPE Training zone
Low  < 40  < 55  < 40 10–11 Aerobic/alactacid
Moderate 40–69 55–74 40–69 12–13 Aerobic/alactacid
High 70–85 75–90 70–85 14–16 Aerobic/lactacid
Very high  > 85  > 90  > 85 17–19 Anaerobic/lactacid

HRR Heart rate reserve, difference between resting and peak heart rate. HRpeak Peak heart rate. RPE: Rate of perceived exertion, adapted from the BORG scale ranging from 6 (really easy) to 20 (maximal effort) points. VO2peak Peak oxygen consumption
