8th Target Heart Rate
10/15
RHR: ________
MHR: ________
Resting Heart Rate: the number of times your heart beats per minute when at rest
Maximum Heart Rate: 220 - age
Target Heart Rate Zone: the range in which your heart rate should be during
exercise.
Calculation of Target Heart Rate
Example - 8th grade student age 12
MHR: 22012 = 208
RHR: 60
Lower limit = 208 - 60 =148 x .6 = 88.8 + 60 = 148.8
Heart rate should not go below 148 during workout period.
Upper limit is 20860 = 148 x .85 = 125.8 + 60 = 185.8
Heart rate should not go above 185 during a workout period.
Target Heart Rate Zone for 8th Grade Student: 148-185
Calculate your own Target Heart Rate Zone:
MHR RHR = ____ X .6 = ____ + RHR = _______lower limit
LOWER LIMIT=____________
Upper Limit: 85% is the upper limit of your target heart rate range.
MHR RHR = _______ x .85 = ______ + RHR = _____upper limit
UPPER LIMIT=_____________

Target Heart Rate

10/ RHR: ________ MHR: ________ Resting Heart Rate: the number of times your heart beats per minute when at rest Maximum Heart Rate: 220 - age Target Heart Rate Zone: the range in which your heart rate should be during exercise.

Calculation of Target Heart Rate

Example - 8 th grade student age 12

  • MHR: 220 – 12 = 208
  • RHR: 60 Lower limit = 208 - 60 = 148 x .6 = 88.8 + 60 = 148.
  • Heart rate should not go below 148 during workout period. Upper limit is 208 – 60 = 148 x .85 = 125.8 + 60 = 185.
  • Heart rate should not go above 185 during a workout period. Target Heart Rate Zone for 8 th Grade Student: 148 - 185

Calculate your own Target Heart Rate Zone:

  • MHR – RHR = ____ X .6 = ____ + RHR = _______lower limit LOWER LIMIT=____________ Upper Limit: 85 % is the upper limit of your target heart rate range.
  • MHR – RHR = _______ x .85 = ______ + RHR = _____upper limit UPPER LIMIT=_____________

Finding your Pulse The way to determine heart rate and to gauge the intensity of exercise

  • Carotid Artery (side of neck)
  • The thumb side of your wrist
  • Heart Rate Monitors also accomplish this goal Finding your Resting Heart Rate The way to determine your resting heart rate
  • First thing in the morning when you are still lying down
  • Place index and middle fingers on Carotid Artery
  • Count how many beats in one minute The average resting pulse rate for a teenager is about 70-80 beats per minute. The better shape you are in, the lower your resting heart rate. Utilizing your target heart rate.
  • After 5 minutes of continuous aerobic exercise take your pulse for 6 seconds
  • Multiply the number by 10 (Just add a zero)= Working heart rate.
  • Check to see if your pulse is within your range. o If it’s lower, start working harder. o If it’s higher, ease up a bit.
