THIS IS NOT TO BE TAKEN AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO YOUR DOCTOR. THIS IS ONLY FOR FUN AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS SERIOUSLY AS A DOCTOR. CHILDREN HAVE FASTER HEARTS SO 92 MAY BE OK. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR INSTEAD OF TAKING THIS AS A DOCTORS ANSWER. I HAVE NO MEDICAL TRAINING AT ALL.

The resting heart rate is affected by:

  • age
  • sex (men are lower usually)
  • physical fitness
  • some drugs/medication
  • genetics
  • anxiety

Some people simply have a higher/lower resting heart rate that cannot be attributed to any specific cause. Many scientific studies have shown that a resting heart rate really isn't an effective way of measuring the health of a person although they say anything above about 84 beats per minute is erring on dangerous.

The Karvonen Theory, or Karvonen Formula, is a method used to determine target heart rate zones for exercise intensity. It calculates the target heart rate based on an individual's resting heart rate, maximum heart rate, and desired exercise intensity percentage. The formula is: Target Heart Rate = [(Maximum Heart Rate - Resting Heart Rate) × Desired Intensity] + Resting Heart Rate. This approach helps tailor cardiovascular workouts to optimize fitness benefits based on personal heart rate levels.
