To calculate your maximum heart rate and target heart rate zone, you can follow these steps:
-
Maximum Heart Rate Calculation:
- The formula for calculating maximum heart rate is: 220 - age.
- For a 13-year-old:
- Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - 13 = 207 bpm (beats per minute).
-
Target Heart Rate Zone Calculation:
- To find your target heart rate zone (70-85% of your maximum heart rate), calculate both the lower and upper limits.
- Lower range (70%):
- 0.70 x 207 = 144.9 bpm (approximately 145 bpm).
- Upper range (85%):
- 0.85 x 207 = 176.0 bpm (approximately 176 bpm).
Now, you can fill in the responses accordingly:
-
If you are 13 years old, which math problem would give you your maximum heart rate?
- Response area: 220 - 13
-
If you are 13 years old, what is your maximum heart rate?
- Response area: 207 bpm
-
What would be the lower range of your target heart zone?
- Response area: 145 bpm
-
What would be the upper limit?
- Response area: 176 bpm
