  1. Terms for Pulse monitoring • Resting Heart Rate--RHR • women average 78-84; men 72-78 • affected by digestion, medication, activity

  2. Terms • Maximal Heart Rate--MHR • determined by stress test • but 220-age is good estimate

  3. Terms • Training Heart Rate Range--THRR • range where training occurs • low end for deconditioned; high for athletes

  4. Checking the pulse • Radial • thumb side of left wrist, palm up • use index & middle finger, not thumb • Carotid • side of neck by Adam’s apple • avoid pressing hard or using thumb • don’t touch opposite side • 10 seconds x 6 to convert to bpm • or 6 seconds x 10 (easiest)

  5. Exercise Pulse Rates • taken immediately after exercise • keep walking

  6. Karvonen Formula • Determine MHR (220-age) • Subtract rhr from that number. This is called HRR, heart rate reserve. • Multiply HRR by .50 to .85 to get upper and lower ends of THRR intensity. • Add RHR back into the formula.

  7. Karvonen Formula • Pregnant women should use 50% as their intensity. • Folks in poor condition use 55-75% • Folks in fair condition can use 60-80% intensity. • Folks in excellent condition can work at 65-85%.

  8. Karvonen Formula • For an 18 year old • with RHR of 72 • In “fair” cardio condition

  9. Karvonen example: • 220-18=202 • 202-72=130 • x.60=78 • x.80=104 • +72=150-176

  10. This means this persons heart must beat 150-176 in order to improve the cardio system.

  11. You need to memorize this formula with your personal data for the next test!
