Training Heart Rate Form

Calculate and record your training heart rate from the formula below:

Where:

Max Heart Rate = 220 - Age
Resting Heart Rate = Heart Rate/Per Minute During Rest.
Intensity = Percent of Max Heart Rate (80% for college level students)

Training Heart Rate @ 80% Intensity

Measurements	Max HR	Resting HR	Intensity	Training HR

Karvonin Formula: MHR-RHR*Intensity+RHR = THR
ie: for 40 year old male, 80% intensity, 65 bpm RHR

(((220-40)-65)*.80)+65

List Your Training Heart Rate Zone
THR Zone = THR +- 10

Questions:

1. As one increases cardiorespiratory fitness, should he/she increase the intensity level? Why?

2. Why should individuals train within their training heart rate zone?
