Answer:
A 17 year old with a resting heart rate of 62 bpm has a maximum hearth rate of 203 bpm, a hearth rate reserve of 141 bpm and target hearth rate between 161 and 182 bpm
Explanation:
Target heart rate is a measure used to calculate the range of heart rate that should be maintained during intense exercise.
Knowing a person's age and resting heart rate (RHR), a target heart rate calculation can be made from the maximum heart rate (MHR) and the hearth rate reserve (HRR)
Data:
- Age: 17 years old
- RHR: 68 bpm
The maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting age from a constant value of 220, so:
- MHR = 220 - age
- MHR = 220 - 17
- MHR = 203 bpm
HRR is calculated by subtracting the resting heart rate (RHR) from the MHR value:
- HRR = MHR - RHR
- HRR = 203 - 62
- HRR = 141 bpm
THR is obtained by multiplying the HRR by 0.7 and 0.85, to obtain the range of heart rate in which the exercise can be performed.
- THR lower limit = (HRR x 0.7) + RHR Lower THR = (141 x 0.7) + 62 = 160.7 ≈ 161 bpm
- THR top limit = (HRR x 0.85) + RHR THR top = (141 x 0.85) + 62 = 181,85 ≈ 182 bpm
For the 17-year-old, the ideal target heart rate for an intense exercise is between the values of 161 and 182 bpm.
