MONITORING HEART

RATE
1. RESTING HEART RATE (RHR)

◦ This is the number of pulse beat at rest. The best time to take the
RHR is upon waking up in the morning. The average RHR is 75
beats for males and 80 for females per minutes.
2. Working Heart rate (WHR) or Exercising Heart
Rate (EHR)
◦ Or Target Heart Rate (THR). This is the 60-80 % of your heart's maximum
capacity (after deducting age) while exercising. An ordinary college freshman
should approximately have WHR of 130-160 pulse beats per minute. This is
gradually attained in the workout phase and sustained by steady exercises for
about 20 minutes.
3. Recovery Rate (RR)
◦ This is the number of pulse beats taken 5 to 10 minutes after a
workout or after walking and stretching in the gradual cool-down.
The heartbeats should go back to normal or slightly above the
resting heart rate.
◦ Cooper recommends pulse-taking at the wrist using the forefinger
and the middle finger.
The Training Heart Rate

◦ Before there could be any physiological benefit that could


be derived from a cardiovascular exercise program, heart
rate must reach a certain target level. There are two ways
by which the exercise heart rate be determined:
1. Karvonen's Formula (1957)

◦ Where: THR= Training Heart Rate


◦ RHR= Resting Heart Rate
◦ PA = Present Age
◦ MHR= Maximum Heart Rate
1. Karvonen's Formula (1957)
◦ Resting Heart is obtained either by getting pulse at the carotid area
of the neck or through the radial artery of the lower forearm. The
number of beats is counted for a specified number of seconds and is
multiplied by 6,4, or 2 to obtain RHR.
◦ For instance: RHR for 10 seconds= Number of beats x 6
◦ RHR for 15 seconds = Number of beats x 4
◦ RHR for 30 seconds Number of beats x2
1. Karvonen's Formula (1957)
◦ Maximum Heart Rate is a theoretical figure in human physiology
where the heart can contact and relax at its maximum per minute.
This is only possible among newly born babies where it can reach a
maximal rate of 220 beats.
1. Karvonen's Formula (1957)
◦Find your Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
◦Find your Predicted Heart Rate (HR max)
HR max = 220-age
◦Find your Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)
HRR= HR max-RHR
1. Karvonen's Formula (1957)
Find the lower limit of your Heart Rate Training Range:
◦ Multiply your Heart Rate Training Range
◦ HRR x.50 + RHR = Low Target Heart Rate

Find the upper limit of your Heart Rate Training Range:


◦ Multiply your HRR by 85% and add your RHR
◦ HRR x .85+ RHR = High Target Heart Rate
2. Percent of Heart Rate Max:
Find your Predicted Maximum Heart Rate (HR max)
◦ HR max = 220- age

Find the lower limit of your Heart Rate Training Range


Low Target Heart Rate = HR max X .50

Find the upper limit of your Heart Rate Training Range


High Target Heart Rate = HR max X .90
