What this tool is for
Target Heart Rate Calculator is built for wellness estimation inside health calculators when you need to estimates a training heart-rate target. It focuses on target heart rate instead of making you adapt a broad calculator to a narrow task.
When to use it
Use it when age and intensity are already known and you want a fast estimate before comparing options, checking a worksheet, or copying the result into another workflow.
Inputs
- Age is one of the direct inputs used to calculate target heart rate. Use years for this field.
- Intensity is one of the direct inputs used to calculate target heart rate. Use % for this field.
Formula
target = (220 - age) x intensity
Example
Age 35 at 70% gives about 129.5 bpm.
What the result means
The result labeled "Target Heart Rate" is the direct output of target = (220 - age) x intensity. In the worked example, age 35 at 70% gives about 129.5 bpm.
Before you rely on the result
This is a general wellness estimate, not medical advice, diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation.
