How is maximum HR calculated?
220-age However this is just a yield and may not be accurate in the individuals older than 40 years
What is training heart rate (THR)?
THR is based on the linear relationship between heart rate and VO2 max with increasing rates of work.
What is light exercise THR?
35-54% HR max
What is moderate exercise THR?
55-69% HR max
What is heavy exercise THR?
70-89% HR max
What is the karvonen method?
It takes into account the difference between resting heart rate and maximal heart rate.
What else can the Karvonen method do in regards to THR?
The karvonen method can also establish a THR zone rather than a singular THR value
What is the equation for the Karvonen method?
THR35% = HRrest + 0.35 (HRmax - HRrest)
