the target hr zone is the range between 60 - 80 of an individual's maximum hr
Heart rate For healthy people, the Target Heart Rate or Training Heart Rate (THR) is a desired range of heart rate reached during aerobic exercise which enables one's heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. This theoretical range varies based mostly on age; however, a person's physical condition, sex, and previous training also are used in the calculation. Below are two ways to calculate one's THR. In each of these methods, there is an element called "intensity" which is expressed as a percentage. The THR can be calculated as a range of 65â€“85% intensity. However, it is crucial to derive an accurate HRmax to ensure these calculations are meaningful.[citation needed]
