Percent Heart Rate Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Percent Heart Rate.
PHR = CHR / MHR * 100
- Where PHR is the Percent Heart Rate (%)
- CHR is the current heart rate (BPM)
- MHR is the max heart rate (BPM)
How to Calculate Percent Heart Rate?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Percent Heart Rate.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the current heart rate (BPM).
- The current heart rate (BPM) is given as: 150.
- Next, determine the max heart rate (BPM).
- The max heart rate (BPM) is provided as: 200.
- Finally, calculate the Percent Heart Rate using the equation above:
PHR = CHR / MHR * 100
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
PHR = 150 / 200 * 100 = 75.00 (%)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
current heart rate (BPM) = 190
max heart rate (BPM) = 210
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
PHR = CHR / MHR * 100 = ?
