Explain how to determine maximum heart rate, target heart rate, and target zone


• Maximum Heart Rate: This can be determined from a chart or by using the following calculation: 220 - your age = MHR
• Target Heart Rate and Target Zone: Select a desired level of exertion. Less fit individuals should generally work at an intensity level of 50 to 70 percent of maximum heart rate, while physically fit individuals can aim for higher bouts of intensity of 70 to 85 percent of maximum heart rate. A heart rate that corresponds to a particular percentage of MHR can be calculated or read off a standardized chart to determine the target heart rate or the target zone. For example:
50% MHR = MHR x 0.50
