Calculate your target heart rate based on your age, resting heart rate, and training intensity. Keep your heart healthy and stay fit.

Target Heart Rate

Purpose

The Target Heart Rate function is used to calculate the ideal heart rate range for effective and safe cardiovascular exercise based on your age, resting heart rate, and training intensity.

Use Cases

• Determine the optimal heart rate range for your age during exercise
• Monitor your heart rate to ensure you are working out at the right intensity level

How to Use

1. Enter your age, resting heart rate, and training intensity in the input fields provided.
2. Click on the calculate button to see your target heart rate range.

Input Values

1. Age - Your age in years (default unit is years)
2. Resting Heart Rate - Your resting heart rate in beats per minute
3. Training Intensity - Your desired training intensity level (value between 0 and 1)

Output Values

1. Target Heart Rate (min) - The minimum target heart rate for effective exercise
2. Target Heart Rate (max) - The maximum target heart rate for effective exercise

Any other Instruction

• Ensure to input accurate values for age, resting heart rate, and training intensity to get the most accurate target heart rate range.

Code Analysis

1. Calculate the maximum heart rate based on age.
2. Calculate the heart rate reserve by subtracting resting heart rate from the maximum heart rate.
3. Determine the minimum target heart rate using the training intensity and resting heart rate.
4. Calculate the maximum target heart rate using the training intensity and maximum heart rate.

Technical Parameters

age, resting_heart_rate, training_intensity

Return Values

Target Heart Rate (min), Target Heart Rate (max)

Example Expressions

You can use the following expressions to directly evaluate in a non-interactive manner using eval():

target_heart_rate(age='35 yr', resting_heart_rate=70, training_intensity=0.5)
target_heart_rate(age='40 yr', resting_heart_rate=65, training_intensity=0.6)
