To calculate maximum heart rate, you can use the formula:
Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - Age
For a 13-year-old:
Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - 13 = 207 beats per minute (bpm)
Target Heart Rate Zone
To find the target heart rate zone, which is typically 70-85% of your maximum heart rate:
-
Lower range (70% of maximum heart rate): \[ \text{Lower Limit} = 207 \times 0.70 = 144.9 \text{ bpm} \approx 145 \text{ bpm} \]
-
Upper range (85% of maximum heart rate): \[ \text{Upper Limit} = 207 \times 0.85 = 175.95 \text{ bpm} \approx 176 \text{ bpm} \]
Summary:
- Maximum Heart Rate for a 13-year-old: 207 bpm
- Lower range of Target Heart Rate Zone: 145 bpm
- Upper limit of Target Heart Rate Zone: 176 bpm
