Calculate Optimal Heart Rate



Formula

To calculate the optimal heart rate during exercise:

\[ OHR = (220 - A) \times I \]

What is Optimal Heart Rate?

Optimal heart rate, also known as target heart rate, refers to the range of heartbeats per minute that is considered safe and effective for an individual to reach during aerobic exercise to gain maximum health benefits. This rate varies depending on a person’s age, physical condition, and fitness level. Maintaining an optimal heart rate during exercise can help improve cardiovascular health, increase calorie burn, and enhance physical endurance.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ OHR = (220 - 30) \times 0.7 = 133 \text{ beats per minute} \]

The optimal heart rate is 133 beats per minute.
