1. Heart Rates & Training Zones

2. Anaerobic Training Zone
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) - the maximum amount of times your heart can beat in one minute
220 – AGE = MHR 220 – 15 = 205 bpm
Anaerobic Training Zone
% of MHR (205) =
____ bpm to____ bpm
Aerobic Training Zone
60 – 80 % of MHR (205) =
____ bpm to____ bpm
172
205
124
172

3. The lowest heart rate is the Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
As part of his Personal Exercise Programme (PEP) Joe measures his heart rate to check on his fitness levels.
(a) The heart rate monitors in the figure below show three different heart rate values. Re-order these heart rate values and plot a graph  to show Joe's resting, working and recovery heart rate.
The lowest heart rate is the Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
The highest heart rate is the Working Heart rate (WHR)
The heart rate in between these is the recovery heart rate.
The more quickly recovery takes place the fitter you are. This is because the heart is more efficient at replacing the oxygen to the muscles.

4. Threshold means boundary
Training Zones
Upper anaerobic threshold
Lower anaerobic threshold
Upper aerobic threshold
Lower aerobic threshold

5. What are their TARGET training zones?
A Sprinter would train in the anaerobic training zone. This is because sprinting I a high intensity activity that does not require oxygen
A marathon runner would train in the aerobic training zone. This is because a marathon is an aerobic activity that requires oxygen
