Heart Rate Calculator Karvonen

Karvonen Formula Heart Rate Calculator

The Karvonen formula is a method for calculating your target heart rate zone during exercise. It takes into account your resting heart rate (RHR) and your maximum heart rate (MHR) to determine a more personalized target heart rate.

Enter a value between 50 and 85. For example, 70 for 70% intensity.
