How much heart rate will be uncomfortable during exercise

We all know that we should do some warm-up exercises before doing exercise. These warm-up exercises can not only keep us active, but also slowly increase our heart rate. Otherwise, doing strenuous exercise suddenly may cause psychological inability to keep up and difficulty breathing. Just like some heart patients, they cannot do strenuous exercise because their bodies cannot bear it. So, how much will the heart rate feel uncomfortable during exercise?

Normal heart rate range during exercise

Everyone's health and physical condition are different, and the aerobic heart rate range for fitness exercises will vary from person to person and from time to time. Generally speaking, a reasonable exercise load that can strengthen the body is between 65% and 85% of one's maximum exercise heart rate, also known as the target heart rate or target heart rate (refers to a safe heart rate that can achieve exercise effects and ensure safety).

In addition, the specific exercise heart rate will vary depending on the intensity of the exercise. The heart rate for medium and low intensity exercise is between 110-140 beats/minute, and the heart rate for more intense exercise such as weight loss is between 160-180 beats/minute, and the maximum does not exceed 210 beats/minute.

How to calculate the average person's exercise heart rate range

The normal range of specific exercise heart rate refers to 65%-85% of the maximum exercise heart rate (HR).

Maximum heart rate formula (for normal people)

HRmax=208-0.7*age

Maximum heart rate formula (for obese people)

HRmax=200-0.5*age

The upper limit of reasonable exercise load heart rate = maximum exercise heart rate multiplied by 85%

The lower limit of reasonable exercise load heart rate = maximum exercise heart rate multiplied by 65%

How to calculate the normal heart rate of middle-aged and elderly people during exercise

For middle-aged and elderly people, the simplest and safest method can be used:

Suitable aerobic exercise heart rate = 170 - age. For example, if you are 60 years old, your heart rate should be controlled at 170-60=110 beats per minute when doing aerobic exercise. For the weak and older people, for safety reasons, you can choose (170-age)×0.9.

Heart rate refers to the number of times the heart beats per minute. It is a professional term used to describe the cardiac cycle and is also a common parameter used to measure exercise intensity. For friends who like sports, they need to pay more attention to their heart rate during exercise. If the heart rate is too fast, it is not good. So, what is the normal heart rate during exercise? What is the normal range of heart rate during exercise?

Different ways to measure heart rate during exercise

1. Pinch your pulse: only suitable for exercise intervals

2. Equipment testing: only used for aerobic equipment in the gym, not suitable for full-course testing, may reduce exercise intensity

3. Wearable detection equipment: easy to carry, but not suitable for high-intensity exercise

4. Chest strap heart rate monitor: cost-effective, but uncomfortable to wear
