Target at entered intensity

—

Enter an intensity approved for your circumstances. Medicines and health conditions can change heart-rate responses; this does not set a safe exercise zone.

Health inputs stay in this tab. Link sharing is disabled.

Formula

Use T = R+(M−R)i. R is resting heart rate, M is measured maximum heart rate, and i is your chosen reserve intensity as a fraction. T uses the same heart-rate unit.

Apply an entered intensity to measured heart-rate reserve.

Worked example

Measured maximum heart rate (bpm)
190
Resting heart rate (bpm)
60
Chosen reserve intensity (%)
60
Target at entered intensity
138 bpm
Heart-rate reserve
130 bpm

Scope and limitations

Enter an intensity approved for your circumstances. Medicines and health conditions can change heart-rate responses; this does not set a safe exercise zone.

Inputs are checked for missing values and allowed ranges. A result outside the finite numeric range is not displayed. Rounding affects display, while the calculation uses the model’s numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before relying on a result. Changing a label does not convert a currency or physical unit.
