calculate heart rate
Calculate your training heart rate
At rest (minimum) heart rate: counting / meaning
Or heart rate minimum rest can be a very reliable indicator of your fitness level.
Resting heart rate, or RHR is the number of his heart beats per minute is measured when idle.
The best time to calculate your RHR is first thing when you wake in the morning.
You can place your index and middle finger either in the carotid or radial artery and Count your pulse for 20. "Multiply by 3 and you are OK.
I do not recommend this method. I prefer a heart rate monitor.
Relax and Count your pulse for about 60 ". The VCF is the lowest number on the dial. To obtain a more reliable measurement you can use the words average of three consecutive days.
The RHR depends on several parameters. Some of the most important are:
- Age: A 20 year old man should have a RHR reduced by 3-4 beats / minute of a man of 50 years (for the same fitness level).
- Sex: Women have RHRs higher by 3.5 beats / min compared with men of similar age and fitness level.
- Stress: If you are stressed, your RHR will exceed 10%.
- Physically: Part lower your RHR is the most fit. Average, healthy men in their thirties have RHRs in the range of 70-75.
If your RHR is 85 + beats, which will have to do something because his overworked heart.
Conversely, if your RHR is less than 60 beats / min, are in an excellent shape!
- Overtraining: people can have their overtrained RHRs increased by 10% or more compared with standard measures.
You can lower your RHR systematic aerobic activities. This will cause the heart to pump more efficient with a higher stroke volume. In other words, be able to send more blood around the body with each heartbeat.
Compare an athlete with a RHR of 50 beats a man unfit, same old with a RHR of 100 beats: The heart of the second man has to do double work for the same result!
RHR is used to determine training heart rate zones. This is an issue to address very soon.
