Question

. Adam is participating in an aerobic dance class. He is 20 years old and his resting

heart rate is 80.
Calculate his maximum heart rate and his training heart rate zone (60 - 80%).
Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - Age
A. 140 MAX, 84-112 THR
B. 60 MAX, 96-128 THR
C. 200 MAX, 120-160 THR
D. 240 MAX, 180-200 THR

Answer 1

To calculate Adam's maximum heart rate:
Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - Age
Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - 20 = 200 beats per minute (bpm)

Now, to find his training heart rate (THR) zone:
Training Heart Rate Zone = 60% to 80% of Maximum Heart Rate

Lower limit of THR: 60% of 200 = 0.6 * 200 = 120 bpm
Upper limit of THR: 80% of 200 = 0.8 * 200 = 160 bpm

So, the correct option is:
C. 200 MAX, 120-160 THR
