ACRONYMS DEFINED

FITT - Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type (guidelines when planning an activity program)

MVPA-Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity = Continuum of Activity (50 -85% of MHR)

 

RHR = resting heart rate
THR = target heart rate

MHR = maximum heart rate

Determine your MVPA  and levels of Intensity:

1. Count pulse for 6 seconds
2. Add a zero (this number indicates beats per minute)
3. Calculate: 220 - age
4. Multiply by .50, repeat for .60 (warm up/cool down)
Repeat .70, and .85 (target heart rate zone)

Determine resting heart rate this week! (count pulse upon awakening prior to any activity)

Karvonen Formula includes Resting Heart Rate (RHR) and produces a more
personalized THR Zone for an individual based on overall health, not just age!
The goal is a lowered RHR which would indicate the heart is working more efficiently over time
220-age = MHR
(MHR – RHR) X .85, (repeat for .70, .60, .50)

 add RHR to each calculation These numbers are your THR zone for MVPA and intensity level measurement
