Assignment 7: Heart Rate



5130068-171987001111250-18034000Heart Rate AssignmentThe purpose of this assignment is to help you understand:Resting Heart Rate (RHR), Maximal Heart Rate (MHR), Target Heart Rate (THR), and Recovery Heart Rate.Resting Heart RateYour resting heart rate is the number of beats per minute (BPM) that your heart beats while resting. The best time to take your resting heart rate is early in the morning, as soon as you wake up. The average resting heart rate for men is typically lower than that for women (e.g., men = 70 beats per minute; women = 75 beats per minute). If you are physically fit, your resting heart rate will typically be below 60 beats per minuteMaximal Heart Rate Your maximal heart rate is the maximal number of beats per minute that your heart can beat during hard exercise. As you age, your maximal heart rate declines, mostly due to a decrease in physical activity, but also due to a less efficient heart. To estimate your maximal heart rate, subtract your age in years from 220. 13970125730Max Heart Rate = 220 – Your Age0Max Heart Rate = 220 – Your AgeTarget Heart Rate Range – Minimum to Maximum RangeTo calculate your target heart rate range subtract your resting heart rate from your maximal heart rate. This value is your heart rate range. Multiply your heart rate range by .50, assuming that 50% of your maximal heart rate is the minimal level at which you should exercise. Add your resting heart rate back to this value for the threshold heart rate, or your minimal level of intensity. 6985105410Threshold Heart Rate = (Max HR – Resting HR x 0.5) + Resting HR0Threshold Heart Rate = (Max HR – Resting HR x 0.5) + Resting HRYour target ceiling rate is the highest intensity level at which you should exercise. Once again using your heart rate range and multiply your heart rate range by .85 (assuming that 85% of your maximal heart rate is the maximum level at which you should exercise). Add your resting heart rate back to this value for the target ceiling rate, or your maximal level of intensity. -9525-1270Target Ceiling Rate = (Max HR – Resting HR x 0.85) + Resting HR0Target Ceiling Rate = (Max HR – Resting HR x 0.85) + Resting HRAthletes and those already in good physical condition can (and do) workout at intensities higher than 85% of maximum heart rate. However, this is most effectively done with a coach or fitness trainer.Recovery Heart RateImmediately after exercising, it is important to track your recovery heart rate. The higher your level of fitness, the more quickly your heart rate will drop after exercise. For example, if you finish a 5 km run and your exercise heart rate is 160 bpm and 1 minute later, your heart rate is down to 100 bpm, you are very physically fit and your body is used to being physically challenged on a regular basis. If, on the other hand, you run a mile and your post-exercise heart rate of 160 bpm drops only to 140 after 1 minute, you have a lower level of fitness and regular training should improve the speed with which you recover from hard exercise.Heart Rate Assignment5211445-408305001193165-41719500610870150495413067557150Name: Due Date:PART AWhat is your resting heart rate (BPM)?
