Maximum Heart Rate - (MaxHR) is the fastest your heart can beat in a minute.
To determine your actual MaxHR you need to take an electrocardiogram test, monitored
by a qualified technician or a doctor
To estimate your maximal heart rate, simply subtract your age from the number 208.
MaxHR= 208-age
=208-12
=194
Target Heart Rate (THR) - Your Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your MaxHR.
Typically, you determine a range of heart rates ("Target Zone") that represents your
desired workout intensity. By keeping your heart rate in this zone, you can monitor your workout
intensity level.
Heart rate reserve (HRR) - is the difference between a person's measured or predicted
maximum heart rate and resting heart rate.
Recovery Heart Rate - is the change in your heart rate after you stop working out.
What should be the heart rate when engaging in a moderately intense exercise?
Given:
Age = 12
Resting Heart Rate (RHR) = 70
STEP 1: Find the MaxHR
MaxHR = 208 -.7(Age)
208 - .7(12)
208 – 8.4
=199.6 (MaxHR)
STEP 2: Compute the HRR
HRR=MaxHR –RHR
199.6 - 70
=129.6 (HRR)
STEP 3: Compute Minimum HR for Moderate Exercise
HRR x 40% + RHR
129.6 x .40 + 70
51.84+ 70
=121.84
STEP 4: Compute Maximum HR for Moderate Exercise
HRR x 55% + RHR
129.6 x .55 + 70
71.28 + 70
=141.28
STEP 5: Compute Minimum HR for Vigorous Exercise
HRR x 50% + RHR
129.6 x .50 + 70
64.80+ 70
=134.80
STEP 6: Compute Maximum HR for Vigorous Exercise
HRR x 85% + RHR
129.6 x .85+ 70
110.16+ 70
=134.80
