What is heart rate range for 11?

Answer 1

To calculate a heart rate range you need: Resting Heart Rate, Age, and the desired percent you wish to exert yourself. For example:

Resting heart rate: 60

Age: 11

Desired % of Exertion: 65% - 80%

This would be for a regularly active child. The formula is then:

220 - Age = Maximum Heart rate

Max Heart Rate - Resting Heart Rate = Y

Y x desired % + Resting Heart Rate = Heart Rate Range (HRR)

To get the heart rate range, simply do the equation twice, once for each desired %. The shorter form of the equation is:

220 - Age = Max HR - Resting HR = Y x desired % + Resting HR = HRR

For the above values it would look like this:

200 - 11 = 189 - 60 = 129 x 65% + 60 = 143.85 or 144 BPM

200 - 11 = 189 - 60 = 129 x 80% + 60 = 163.2 or 163 BPM

The Heart Rate Range would then be: 144 - 163 BPM
