This program calculates your target heart rate ranges for:

  • Overall THR: 50% to 90% of maximum heart rate
  • Low intensity: 50% to 64% of maximum heart rate
  • Moderate intensity: 65% to 79% of maximum heart rate
  • High intensity: 80% to 90% of maximum heart rate




EBSCO Publishing's proprietary interactive calculators provide general results based on input provided by the user that is calculated against measurements or formulas considered standard by various government agencies, including the USDA, CDC, and FDA. The inputted information consists only of single values (e.g., anthropometric data or activity levels) not detailed clinical information, and the results do not indicate or suggest a specific course of action unique to the user.
