Answer 1

To help you with your questions, here's how to calculate your resting heart rate, maximum heart rate, and target heart rate zone:

Question 1: Resting Heart Rate

Resting heart rate is typically measured in beats per minute (BPM) while at rest. For a 13-year-old, a normal resting heart rate can range from 60 to 100 BPM. You can find your resting heart rate by:

1. Finding a quiet spot and sitting or lying down for about 5 minutes.
2. Using your fingers to locate your pulse either on your wrist (radial pulse) or on the side of your neck (carotid pulse).
3. Counting the number of beats you feel for 60 seconds.

Question 2: Maximum Heart Rate

Your maximum heart rate can be estimated with the following formula:

Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - your age

For a 13-year-old, the calculation would be:

Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - 13 = 207 BPM

Question 3: Target Heart Rate Zone

The target heart rate zone is typically 50% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. You can calculate your target heart rate zone using your maximum heart rate:

1. Lower end of target zone:
   • 50% of maximum heart rate: 0.50 x 207 = 103.5 BPM
2. Upper end of target zone:
   • 85% of maximum heart rate: 0.85 x 207 = 175.95 BPM

Therefore, for a 13-year-old, the target heart rate zone would be approximately 104 to 176 BPM.
