Approaches to Determining
Training Heart Rate
60 to 90% of Maximal HR
Max HR = 180
60% = 108 and 90% = 162
50 to 85% of Heart Rate Reserve
Max HR = 180 and Resting HR = 70
HRR = 180 - 70 = 110
50% = 70 + 65 = 135; 85% = 94 + 70 = 164

Moderate Exercise
All work rates below LT
Heavy Exercise:
Lower boundary: Work rate at LT
Upper boundary: highest work rate at which
blood lactate can be stabilized (Maximum
lactate steady state)
Severe Exercise:
Neither O or lactate can be stabilized
