How Do You Calculate Rhr

You should feel a pulse. You can also find a pulse along the side of your neck about 1-2 inches below your ear. Set your timer for 30 seconds, then count the number of beats you feel during that window. Double the number of beats to get the number of beats per minute, which is your RHR.

How do you calculate someone's MHR?

  1. Gellish2: 191.5 – .007 x age^2 = MHR.
  2. Fairburn: 201 – .63 x age for women = MHR. OR 208 – .80 x age for men = MHR.
  3. Gellish: 206.9 – (o.67 x age) = MHR.
  4. Tanaka: 208 – (0.7 x age) = MHR.

How is the target heart rate zone related to the MHR?

For moderate-intensity physical activity, a person’s target heart rate should be 50 to 70% of his or her maximum heart rate. This maximum rate is based on the person’s age. An estimate of a person’s maximum age-related heart rate can be obtained by subtracting the person’s age from 220.
