New research shows “fat-burning zone” recommendations on commercial cardio equipment may not provide accurate information.
Researchers out of Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine looked at data from 26 participants and tracked their heart rate and peak fat-burning rate during exercise. They found that individuals’ optimal heart rate for burning fat often varied widely from what exercise machines’ fat-burning zones recommended for them.
Here’s what experts had to say about why cardio machines’ fat-burning zones may be inaccurate, and ways that people can optimize their own individual fat loss.Kittrell and the other researchers wanted to examine how each of the study participants’ optimal heart rate for fat loss compared with what was suggested by cardio machines’ fat-burning zones.
Fat-burning zones recommended by exercise machines are often based on age, heart rate, and sex. But even after taking these factors into consideration, they don’t always do a good job of predicting a person’s Fatmax. “Our bodies are complex and respond differently to exercise, making it reasonable to expect that the optimal heart rate for fat burning can vary among individuals,” she said.
These kinds of “data-driven approaches” can help tailor exercise to the needs and goals of each individual, said Massey.According to Perlus, individualized heart rate recommendations for fat loss may certainly be helpful, but this data may not be necessary for every person who’s trying to lose weight.
