Question

The American College of Sports Medicine's recommended exercise intensity range for adults using heart rate maximal is:

1) 60-75% of heart rate maximal
2) 75-85% of heart rate maximal
3) 85-95% of heart rate maximal
4) 95-100% of heart rate maximal

Answer 1

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends an exercise intensity range of 60-75% of heart rate maximal for adults using HRmax.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that adults use a heart rate maximal (HRmax) of 60-75% for their exercise intensity. HRmax is estimated by taking the maximal value of 220 bpm and subtracting the individual's age. For example, a 40-year-old person would have an estimated HRmax of approximately 180.
