Question

what is the range of your maximum heart rate that makes up your target heart rate zone?

Answered by GPT 3.5
The target heart rate zone is typically calculated as a percentage range of your maximum heart rate (MHR). To determine your target heart rate zone, you can use the following formula:

Target Heart Rate Zone = (MHR x % Lower Limit) to (MHR x % Upper Limit)

The lower and upper percentage limits vary depending on the intended intensity of the exercise. Here are some common target heart rate zones:

1. Moderate Intensity (50-70%):
- Lower Limit: MHR x 0.5
- Upper Limit: MHR x 0.7

2. Vigorous Intensity (70-85%):
- Lower Limit: MHR x 0.7
- Upper Limit: MHR x 0.85

For example, if your maximum heart rate is 180 beats per minute (bpm), the target heart rate zone for moderate intensity exercise would be 90-126 bpm (50-70% of 180) and for vigorous intensity exercise would be 126-153 bpm (70-85% of 180).

The target heart rate zone is typically a percentage range of your maximum heart rate (MHR). For moderate-intensity exercise, the range is generally 50-70% of your MHR, and for vigorous-intensity exercise, it is typically 70-85% of your MHR.
