Target Heart Rate Zone Equation Quiz
Due:
Directions: Please use the following information to complete this assignment:
1. Please use a calculator.
2. The person is 24 years old.
3. Their resting heart rate is 70 bpm (RHR).

Purpose: To identify a target heart rate zone which is safe
for you to maintain and achieve a training effect.
***Please note, if you are using a public computer(i.e. school student computer, library, etc.),
you may NOT submit this form.
You must PRINT it and submit the hard copy.
LOWER LIMIT
UPPER LIMIT

1. Determine the maximum heart rate according to the given age.
(220-age=max heart rate)"MHR".

      220

=   = 
2. Determine the resting heart rate. (Take pulse for six seconds then add a zero- prior to any exercise). SUBTRACT RHR from MHR. -    -   
=   =  
3. Multiply the percentage for the given limit with the answers on
Line A. (Lower Limit=60% or 0.60; Upper Limit=90% or0.90).		 X  X 
=  = 
4. Add the original RHR figure back into the equation.
Then place the answer on Line B.		 +  + 
=  = 
6. ROUND the answers from Line B.
a. Round the numbers UP if the number
after the decimal point is 5 or greater.
i.e. 124.7=125
b. Round the numbers DOWN if the number
after the decimal point is 4 or lower.
i.e. 178.2=178
