2. What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart' What is your client’s Max Heart Rate (show your calculations)?
The client has an estimated Max Heart Rate (MHR) of 182 bpm (220 – AGE = EST MHR).
Calculation: 220 – 38 = 182 bpm.
3. What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? Using Heart Rate Reserve (Karvonen Formula), calculate your client’s heart rate at the following exercise intensities (show your calculations).
Full Karvonen Formula: (MHR – RHR “HRR” x Intensity %) + RHR.
HRR Formula: MHR – Resting Heart Rate (RHR). …show more content…
In addition, the client has expressed an interest in completing the training sessions between 40-60 minutes, enjoys running on the weekends, and currently exercises 3x per week for 30 minutes. For those reasons, I would assign a total of 120 minutes in the first week of the program to a mixture of moderate-high intensity training sessions. The following days/duration are as
