Exercise could lead to lots of benefits and one of those is to make you healthy and strong thus achieving fitness. In order to full achieve its potential welfare. We should know our maximum training heart rate or what we called the MTHR.
MTHR is has its constant number of 220. That is the maximum heart rate of a person. If that exceeds, tendency that person might experience a difficulty of breathing. Thus, you need to listen to your body for you might push it harder its limits and peril might comes along the way.
However, if you will not perform/execute the workout or exercise properly, you might not be able to achieve your fitness goal. So it is ideal to reach an average and gradually increase to intense heart rate level.
There are factors may also change your heart rate. These are:
- Changes to your heart rate as you age.
- Medical conditions that may impact your heart rate.
- Medications that can affect heart rate.
- Your current fitness level.
In order to know our THR or training heart rate is to subtract the MTHR to your age. For example, your age is 20 years old. So, MTHR which is 220 - 20 is equals to 200 THR.
A 20 years old THR is 200 .
Formula:
MTHR - AGE = THR
220 - 15 = 205 THR
220 - 30 = 190 THR
2 220 - 25 = ______ THR ?
Training Heart Rate Zone
Zone Level - Percent - Intensity
I - I - 50 % - 60 % - very light ( warm up)
II - II - 60 - 70 % - light (fat burning
III III - 70 - 80 % - moderate (aerobic)
IV- IV - 80 - 90 % - hard (anaerobic)
V - V - 90 - 100 % - maximum heart rate)
Example:
MTHR = 220 - 15 = 205
THR = 205 of 15 years old
I - 50 % - 60 % = 102.5 to 123 bmp (beats per minute)
= THR = 205 x .50 = 102.5 bpm
= THR = 205 x . 60 = 123 bpm
II - 60% - 70 % = 123 to 143.5 bpm
= THR = 205 x. 60 = 123 bpm
= THR = 205 x . 70 = 143.5 bpm
III - 70 % - 80% = 143.5 to 164 bpm
THR = 205 x .70 = 143. 5 bpm
THR = 205 x .80 =164 bpm
IV - 80% - 90 % = 164 to 184.5 bpm
THR = 205 x .80 = 164 bpm
THR = 205 x .90 = 184.5 bpm
V - 90% - 100 % = 184. 5 - 205 bpm
THR = 205 x .90= 184.5 bpm
THR = 205 x 1.00 = 205 bpm
This is also an indicator how intense you engage in an exercise. Better to consult a doctor if you plan to engage in an intense training or work.
