Answer 1

13) Maximum heart rate: It is defined as the age-related number of beats per minute of the heart when working at its maximum level. It is calculated by the following formula-

                                                                     Maximum heart rate = 220 - Age

Therefore, Tom's maximum heart rate = 220 - 20 = 200 bpm

Heart Rate Reserve: It is defined as the difference between the maximum heart rate & resting heart rate.

                                            Heart Rate Reserve = Maximum heart rate - Resting heart rate

Therefore, Tom's heart rate reserve= 200 - 60 = 140 bpm

Desired Target Heart Rate Zone: 70% to 85% of the maximum heart rate

Therefore, Low range 70% = maximum heart rate x 70% = 200 x 70% = 140 bpm

Therefore, High range 85% = maximum heart rate x 85% = 200 x 85% = 170 bpm

Therefore, if Tom counted his heart rate for 6 seconds, the number for the 70% = (140/60) x 6 = 14 & number for the 85% = (170/60) x 6 = 17

14) Maximum heart rate = 220 - Age

Therefore, Sally's maximum heart rate = 220 - 60 = 160 bpm

Heart Rate Reserve = Maximum heart rate - Resting heart rate

Therefore, Sally's heart rate reserve= 160 - 72 = 88 bpm

Desired Target Heart Rate Zone: 60% to 75% of the maximum heart rate

Therefore, Low range 60% = maximum heart rate x 60% = 160 x 60% = 96 bpm

Therefore, High range 75% = maximum heart rate x 75% = 160 x 75% = 120 bpm
