After finding your maximum heart rate, remember your target heart rate zone is 70-85% of you maximum heart rate, what would be your lower range or your target heart zone?
To calculate the lower range of your target heart zone, you need to multiply your maximum heart rate by 70% (0.7) since the lower end of the zone is 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Lower range of target heart zone = Maximum heart rate x 0.7
For example, if your maximum heart rate is 180 beats per minute:
Lower range of target heart zone = 180 x 0.7 = 126 beats per minute
Therefore, the lower range of your target heart zone would be 126 beats per minute.
If you are 12 years old, which math problem would give you your maximum heart rate? Response area
After finding your maximum heart rate, remember your target heart rate zone is 70-85% of you maximum heart rate, what would be your lower range or your target heart zone? Response area
What would be your upper limit?
To calculate the maximum heart rate for a 12-year-old, you can use the formula:
Maximum heart rate = 220 - age
For a 12-year-old:
Maximum heart rate = 220 - 12 = 208 beats per minute
To find the lower range of the target heart zone, you multiply the maximum heart rate by 0.7 (70%):
Lower range of target heart zone = Maximum heart rate x 0.7
Lower range of target heart zone = 208 x 0.7 = 145.6 beats per minute (rounded to 146 beats per minute)
Therefore, the lower range of the target heart zone for a 12-year-old would be approximately 146 beats per minute.
To find the upper limit of the target heart zone, you multiply the maximum heart rate by 0.85 (85%):
Upper limit of target heart zone = Maximum heart rate x 0.85
Upper limit of target heart zone = 208 x 0.85 = 176.8 beats per minute (rounded to 177 beats per minute)
Therefore, the upper limit of the target heart zone for a 12-year-old would be approximately 177 beats per minute.
