This tool calculates the target score you need to achieve a specific percentage in your exams.
How to Use the Heart Rate Calculator
1. Enter your age in the “Age” field.
2. Enter your resting heart rate in the “Resting Heart Rate” field. This is typically your heart rate first thing in the morning.
3. Enter the desired intensity of your workout in the “Intensity (%)” field. This should be a percentage between 50 and 95.
4. Click the “Calculate” button to see your target heart rate.
Explanation of the Calculations
The calculator uses the following steps to determine your target heart rate for your desired workout intensity:
- Calculates your maximum heart rate (Max HR) using the formula: 220 – Age.
- Determines your heart rate reserve (HRR) by subtracting your resting heart rate from your Max HR.
- Calculates your target heart rate by adding a percentage of your HRR, based on your selected workout intensity, to your resting heart rate.
Limitations
1. The formula used for Max HR (220 – Age) is an approximation and may not be accurate for everyone.
2. The intensity value should be within the range of 50% to 95%.
3. The calculator does not account for individual variations in fitness levels and health conditions. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting a new exercise program.
