Heart rate (HR) is a measure of the number of heart beats per minute (bpm). The average resting human heart rate is about 70 bpm. Heart rate varies significantly between individuals based on fitness, age and genetics. Endurance athletes often have very low resting heart rates. Heart rate can be measured by monitoring one's pulse. Pulse measurement can be achieved using specialized medical devices, or by merely pressing one's fingers against an artery (typically on the wrist or the neck). It is generally accepted that listening to heart beats using a stethoscope, a process known as auscultation, is a more accurate method of measuring the heart rate. {| ! width="80" | Age ! width="120" | Normal heart rate

How do you find the target zone heart rate of a 16 year old male?

To find the target zone heart rate for a 16-year-old male, first calculate the maximum heart rate by subtracting his age from 220, which gives a maximum heart rate of approximately 204 beats per minute (bpm). The target heart rate zone is typically 50-85% of the maximum heart rate. Therefore, for a 16-year-old, the target zone would be around 102-173 bpm during exercise.
