What is the Heart Rate Calculator & How does it work?
Monitoring your heart rate is crucial for athletes to understand their training intensity and optimize performance. The heart rate reflects the number of times your heart beats per minute, providing insights into your cardiovascular health and fitness level.
The maximum heart rate (MHR) is a key metric used to determine training zones. Traditionally, MHR can be estimated using the formula: (text{MHR} = 220 – text{age}). However, this formula may not accurately reflect individual differences.
(text{Target HR Zone} = text{MHR} times left(frac{text{Zone}}{100}right))
