Anaerobic Heart Rate Formula

The following formula is used to calculate an anaerobic heart rate.

AHR = (220-A) * .85

Where AHR is your anaerobic heart rate (BPM)
A is your age

To calculate your estimated anaerobic heart rate, subtract your age from 200, then multiply by .85.

Anaerobic Heart Rate Definition

An anaerobic heart rate is the heart rate of a person whose heart rate is at 80-90% of their max heart rate. This activity is defined as exercise that requires immediate energy from phosphates and glucose.
