Question

Using the Karvonen Formula Worksheet provided list your Target Training Heart Rate in beats per minute (BPM) for the following zones:

50%=66 RHR, 65%=61 RHR, 75%=70 RHR, 85%=66 RHR & 95%=62 RHR

Age: 24

Avg. Resting Heart Rate: 66

Target Training Heart Rates:

50% = 128 BPM

65% = 145 BPM

75% = 156 BPM

85% = 168 BPM

95% = 179 BPM

Answer 1

Target heart rate can be calculated by using the,The Karvonen formula which is your heart rate reserve multiplied by the percentage of intensity plus your resting heart rate which is given by the formula= .(0.5)(Max HR – Resting HR) + (Resting HR)

Target heart rate for a 50% intensity program would be: (0.5) (128 -66) +66 = 97 BPM

Target heart rate for a 65% intensity program would be : (0.65) ( 145 - 61) + 61 =115 BPM

Target heart rate for a 75% intensity program would be : (0.75) (156 - 70) +70 = 134 BPM

Target heart rate for a 85% intensity program would be : (0.85) (168 - 66) +66 = 152 BPM

Target heart rate for a 95% intensity program would be : (0.95) (179 - 62) + 62 = 173 BPM.
