Interpretation

This is an estimated range

Age-predicted maximum heart rate is a population average and can miss an individual value by 10 bpm or more. Wearables can also lag.

Not a diagnosis

For general health education and estimation only. It does not diagnose a condition and is not treatment, medication, diet or training advice.

01

Formula used

target HR = (HRmax − HRrest) × intensity + HRrest

Suitable population

Generally healthy adults making a rough aerobic-intensity plan.

02

When not to use it

Heart disease, pregnancy, medicines that affect heart rate or a medical exercise restriction require individual guidance.

Data error and uncertainty

Input accuracy, measurement technique, rounding and individual variation all affect the result. Internal precision is retained and only displayed values are rounded.
