How it works

Enter the requested values, check the units, then run the Heart Rate Reserve Calculator for a copyable informational estimate.

The tool works by Karvonen-style arithmetic using 220 minus age and resting pulse; general guide only. The result is a general estimate that cannot account for every individual factor and does not replace a clinician. Inputs stay in the browser.

Examples

Practical example

Age 40 with resting pulse 60 and 50–70% intensity gives a calculated range.
