What is the target heart rate for moderate-intensity activity?

Answer 1

To calculate a target heart rate for exercise, first determine the maximum heart rate by subtracting the person's age from 220. For instance, a twenty year olds maximum heart rate is 220 minus 20, or 200. The target heart rate for moderate intensity exercise is 50-70% of the maximum. This is calculated by multiplying 200 by 0.50 and by 0.70. This gives you a target heart rate range of 100-140.

Answer 2

That depends largely on one's age, gender, and weight. It is typically considered to be 60% of your maximum heart rate, which again depends on your age, gender, and weight. For a 30 year-old male (if I remember the chart on the treadmill correctly), a max heart rate is about 190bpm. High intensity (aerobic) exercise should be at 80% (up to 85%) of your max heart rate.

For a table, see the link below.

A+ answer.. 50 - 70 percent

Answer 3

To calculate a target heart rate for exercise, first determine the maximum heart rate by subtracting the person's age from 220. For instance, a twenty year olds maximum heart rate is 220 minus 20, or 200. The target heart rate for moderate intensity exercise is 50-70% of the maximum. This is calculated by multiplying 200 by 0.50 and by 0.70. This gives you a target heart rate range of 100-140.

Answer 4

For aerobic exercise the target heart rate depends on and declines with age. The following assume you are not on medicine that lowers heart rate.

• 20 years 100-170 beats per minute
• 30 years 95-162 beats per minute
• 35 years 93-157 beats per minute
• 40 years 90-153 beats per minute
• 45 years 88-149 beats per minute
• 50 years 85-145 beats per minute
• 55 years 83-140 beats per minute
• 60 years 80-136 beats per minute
• 65 years 78-132 beats per minute
• 70 years 75-128 beats per minute

Answer 5

It should be around 70-80% of your maximum heart rate.

your maximum heart rate is calculated as 219 minus your age in years.
