How do you work out and estimate for your maximum heart rate
220 - age (years)
What is the aerobic training threshold?
60-85% of max HR
What is the quickest way of finding 60-85% of your max HR?
220 - age (years) = Max HR
Max HR x 0.6 = lower training threshold (60%)
Max HR x 0.85 = higher training threshold (85%)
What can you use to estimate your training intensity?
RPE Scale (Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale)
What is the RPE Scale also called?
The Borg Scale
What is the RPE Scale?
A scale from 6-20 used to estimate how card you are working during training sessions
What is the relationship between heart rate (HR) and the RPE Scale?
RPE x 10 = HR
