Enter Age, Resting heart rate and Gender and the remaining scenario settings to review target heart rate zone with this tool. Reserve-based calculations subtract resting pulse from estimated maximum pulse before applying intensity.
Target heart rate = Resting HR + Intensity × (Maximum HR − Resting HR)The calculation links Age, Resting heart rate and Gender to target heart rate zone. Reserve-based calculations subtract resting pulse from estimated maximum pulse before applying intensity. A simple percentage-of-maximum calculation uses a different base.
Enter Age, Resting heart rate and Gender and the remaining scenario settings to review target heart rate zone with this tool. Reserve-based calculations subtract resting pulse from estimated maximum pulse before applying intensity.
Calculate exercise-zone estimates using the percentage method or heart-rate-reserve method provided. Compare zone boundaries with the method clearly identified.
Reserve-based calculations subtract resting pulse from estimated maximum pulse before applying intensity. A simple percentage-of-maximum calculation uses a different base.
Prepare Age, Resting heart rate, Gender, Fitness goal and Formula. Enter resting pulse only where required and keep the same method when comparing two intensity settings.
Reserve-based calculations subtract resting pulse from estimated maximum pulse before applying intensity. A simple percentage-of-maximum calculation uses a different base. Age-based maximum predictions and resting measurements introduce uncertainty. Zone estimates do not establish safe intensity for an individual.
Use the full settings in the worked-example table. They produce Target Heart Rate Zone: 133-152. Compare the method and units as well as the displayed number.
The displayed relationship is Target heart rate = Resting HR + Intensity × (Maximum HR − Resting HR) Enter resting pulse only where required and keep the same method when comparing two intensity settings.
Age-based maximum predictions and resting measurements introduce uncertainty. Zone estimates do not establish safe intensity for an individual. For personal care, discuss the measurements and method with a qualified clinician.
Worked target heart rate calculator example. Set Age = 30; Resting heart rate = 70; Gender = Male; Fitness goal = Cardiovascular Fitness; Formula = Max HR (220 - Age). The corresponding output is Target Heart Rate Zone: 133-152. Reserve-based calculations subtract resting pulse from estimated maximum pulse before applying intensity.
Calculate exercise-zone estimates using the percentage method or heart-rate-reserve method provided. Compare zone boundaries with the method clearly identified.
Enter resting pulse only where required and keep the same method when comparing two intensity settings.
| Field | Example value | Entry check |
|---|---|---|
| Age | 30 | Use the stated unit and the measurement required by this model. |
| Resting heart rate | 70 | Enter a percentage in the form requested by the field, keeping its stated time basis. |
| Gender | Male | Use the option required by the selected estimation model. |
| Fitness goal | Cardiovascular Fitness | Select the description that matches the scenario being estimated. |
| Formula | Max HR (220 - Age) | Select the method before interpreting the result; different modes answer different questions. |
Relationship used for this example: Target heart rate = Resting HR + Intensity × (Maximum HR − Resting HR)
Reserve-based calculations subtract resting pulse from estimated maximum pulse before applying intensity. A simple percentage-of-maximum calculation uses a different base.
| Output | Displayed result |
|---|---|
| Target Heart Rate Zone | 133-152 |
With these settings, target heart rate zone is 133-152. Use the same units and calculation mode when reproducing this example.
Reserve-based calculations subtract resting pulse from estimated maximum pulse before applying intensity. A simple percentage-of-maximum calculation uses a different base. Age-based maximum predictions and resting measurements introduce uncertainty. Zone estimates do not establish safe intensity for an individual.
Replace the illustrative age value (30) with your own value, then complete the other inputs for the same scenario. Enter resting pulse only where required and keep the same method when comparing two intensity settings.
