Target Heart Rate for Aerobics


For more on general knowledge, also refer: http://top-five-everything.blogspot.com/ (Top 5/Top 10 of Every Thing) and http://products-all.blogspot.com/ (About Various Products)

Also refer: http://home-tips-tricks.blogspot.com/ (Home Tips)

Formula to Determine Target Heart Rate (for Aerobics)

Target heart rate = (220-your age) multiplied by 0.6 for beginners, 0.7 for somewhat practiced and 0.8 for the habitual ones.

Example: for a person with 30 years age:

Target heart rate = (220-30) multiplied by 0.6 = 114 for beginner.
Target heart rate = (220-30) multiplied by 0.7 = 133 for somewhat practiced person.
Target heart rate = (220-30) multiplied by 0.8 = 152 for the habitual one.

Never try to achieve these prescribed target heart rates in aerobics on the very first day of the exercises. Do it gradually over a period of say around 8 to 10 weeks.

Also refer: http://home-tips-tricks.blogspot.com/ (Home Tips)

Normal Pulse Rate of Human Beings

Average Beats per Minute (at Rest)

  • Unborn Child: 140 to 150
  • Newborn Infants: 130 to 140
  • During first year: 110 to 130
  • During second year: 96 to 115
  • During third year: 86 to 105
  • 7 to 14 years: 76 to 90
  • 14 to 21years: 76 to 85
  • 21 to 60 years: 70 to 75
  • After 60th year: 67 to 80

Additional Information about Pulse Rate

  • Pulse rate rises normally during excitement, after physical exertion and during digestion.
  • Pulse rate is also influenced by breathing rate.
  • The pulse rate is generally more rapid in females.
  • Variation of one degree of temperature above 98 F is approximately equivalent to a rise of 10 beats in pulse rate. Temperature 98 F. corresponds to pulse of 60 per minute. So, Temperature 99 F will correspond to pulse of 70 per minute and so on. Then, temperature 104 F will correspond with pulse of 120 per minute.
