Target Training Heart Rate

Problem 5- Rewrite the equation for the target heart rate.

Which of the following represents an equation for HRtarg in terms of HRmax and HRrest only?

Recall that the maximum heart rate (HRmax) is computed as,

HRmax = 220 − A,

the reserve heart rate (HRrsv) is computed as,

HRrsv = HRmax− HRrest,

and the target heart rate (HRtarg) is computed as,

HRtarg = p · HRrsv + HRrest.

 

 

  

A.

 

 HRtarg = p · HRmax - HRrest

B.

 

 HRtarg = p · HRmax

C.

 

 HRtarg = p · HRmax - p · HRrest

D.

 

 HRtarg = (1-p) · HRrest + p · HRmax

Problem 6: Find the slope of the line for the equation for determining the target heart rate.
