The formula to calculate the aerobic range is:
\[ \text{Lower}_{\text{Limit}} = \text{MHR} \times 0.5 \]
\[ \text{Upper}_{\text{Limit}} = \text{MHR} \times 0.85 \]
Where:
The aerobic range refers to the heart rate zone that is optimal for aerobic exercise, which primarily uses oxygen to generate energy. This range is typically between 50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. Exercising within this range helps improve cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and overall health. The aerobic range is ideal for activities such as jogging, swimming, and cycling, where the intensity is moderate and can be sustained for longer periods.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Lower}_{\text{Limit}} = 180 \times 0.5 = 90 \, \text{bpm} \]
\[ \text{Upper}_{\text{Limit}} = 180 \times 0.85 = 153 \, \text{bpm} \]
The aerobic range is 90 bpm to 153 bpm.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Lower}_{\text{Limit}} = 200 \times 0.5 = 100 \, \text{bpm} \]
\[ \text{Upper}_{\text{Limit}} = 200 \times 0.85 = 170 \, \text{bpm} \]
The aerobic range is 100 bpm to 170 bpm.
