Midterm 3 Monitoring Heart Rate
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.
