In her strenuous schedule, her energy is being fully utilized. To avoid cardiac arrest and other health concerns, what is the limit of her heart rate level in moderate physical activities?​

Answer 1

Find the required target heart rate level for the given activities.

Explanation:

• RHR (Resting heart rate): your heart rate when your body is in complete rest.
• HRmax (Maximum Heart Rate): Your maximum heart rate is the fastest your heart can go in beats per minute (bpm). To estimate this, multiply your age by $0.7$, then subtract the result from $207$.                               $HR_{max}=207-age(0.7)$
• HRR (Heart Rate Reserve): This is the difference between your heart rate at rest and your heart rate at maximum effort.                                        $HRR=HR_{max}-RHR$  
• now the targeted heart rate level for different type of activities is,             [tex]HR_{min}= RHR+(0.5)HRR\\ HR_{moderate}= RHR+(0.7)HRR\\ HR_{intense}=RHR+(0.85)HRR[/tex]          
• (1) moderate exercise, $age=18\ \ \ \ RHR=70$                                                   [tex]HR_{max}=207-(0.7)18=188.3\\ ->HRR=188.3-70=118.3\\ ->HR_{moderate}=70+(0.7)118.3\\ ->HR_{moderate}=152.74\ bps[/tex]    -------(ans)        
• (2) moderate exercise, [tex]age=20 [/tex]                                                                          [tex]HR_{max}=207-(0.7)20=193\\ HR_{moderate}= 0.7(193)\\ HR_{moderate}= 135.1\ bps[/tex]           -------(ans)
• (3) moderate exercise, $age=12$                                                                     $HR_{max}=207-(0.7)12=198.6\\HR_{moderate}= 0.7(198.6)\\HR_{moderate}= 139.02\ bps$         -------(ans)
• (4) intense exercise, $age=57$                                                                            $HR_{max}=207-(0.7)57=167.1\\HR_{intense}= 0.85(167.1)\\HR_{intense}= 142.035\ bps$         -------(ans)
• (5) moderate activity, $age=34$                                                                                     $HR_{max}=207-(0.7)34=183.2\\HR_{moderate}= 0.7(183.2)\\HR_{moderate}= 128.24\ bps$         -------(ans)
