What is the karvonen formula?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated: The karvonen formula is a mathematical formula that helps you determine your target heart rate (hr) training zone. The formula uses maximum and resting heart rate with the desired training intensity to get a target heart rate. Target heart rate = ((max hr − resting hr) × %intensity) + resting hr example.
