Which of the following is the moderate-intensity cardiorespiratory training zone for a 20-year-old male with a resting heart rate of 68 beats per minute (bpm)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The moderate-intensity training zone is typically 50-70% of the heart rate reserve (HRR). First, calculate the maximum heart rate (MHR) as 220 minus age, which is 200 bpm for a 20-year-old. Then, calculate HRR as MHR minus resting heart rate (200 - 68 = 132 bpm). The moderate-intensity zone is 50-70% of HRR added to the resting heart rate: 68 + (0.5 * 132) to 68 + (0.7 * 132), which is approximately 134-147 bpm.
