Heart Rate Recovery Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Heart Rate Recovery (HRR):

\[ HRR = MHR - HR1min \]

Where:

\(HRR\) is your heart rate recovery
\(MHR\) is your max heart rate or heart rate exactly at the end of a workout or set
\(HR1min\) is your heart rate after 1 minute of rest after max heart rate or end of the workout

A heart rate recovery is the speed at which your heart rate drops back down to normal levels after it’s been at an elevated rate.

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ HRR = 180 - 150 = 30 \text{ bpm} \]

The Heart Rate Recovery is 30 bpm.

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ HRR = 190 - 160 = 30 \text{ bpm} \]

The Heart Rate Recovery is 30 bpm.
