Apple Watch Heart Rate Zone Calculation

Apple Watch Heart Rate Zone Calculator

Understand your training intensity by calculating your heart rate zones based on your maximum heart rate. Apple Watch uses these zones to track your workout intensity and provide insights into your fitness.

Your Heart Rate Zones:

Enter your age and resting heart rate (and optionally, your maximum heart rate) to see your zones.

function calculateHeartRateZones() { var age = parseFloat(document.getElementById("age").value); var restingHeartRate = parseFloat(document.getElementById("restingHeartRate").value); var maxHeartRateInput = parseFloat(document.getElementById("maxHeartRate").value); var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result"); resultDiv.innerHTML = "; // Clear previous results if (isNaN(age) || age <= 0) { resultDiv.innerHTML = 'Please enter a valid age.'; return; } if (isNaN(restingHeartRate) || restingHeartRate <= 0) { resultDiv.innerHTML = 'Please enter a valid resting heart rate.'; return; } var maxHeartRate; if (isNaN(maxHeartRateInput) || maxHeartRateInput <= 0) { // Estimate Max Heart Rate using the common formula: 220 – age maxHeartRate = 220 – age; if (maxHeartRate <= 0) { // Ensure maxHeartRate is positive maxHeartRate = 190; // Fallback to a reasonable default if age is too high } } else { maxHeartRate = maxHeartRateInput; } // Heart Rate Zones Calculation (common Apple Watch/Fitness Tracking approach) // These zones are often expressed as a percentage of Maximum Heart Rate. // Apple Watch typically uses: // Zone 1: 50-60% of Max HR // Zone 2: 60-70% of Max HR // Zone 3: 70-80% of Max HR // Zone 4: 80-90% of Max HR // Zone 5: 90-100% of Max HR var zones = { "Zone 1 (Light)": { min: maxHeartRate * 0.50, max: maxHeartRate * 0.60 }, "Zone 2 (Moderate)": { min: maxHeartRate * 0.60, max: maxHeartRate * 0.70 }, "Zone 3 (Challenging)": { min: maxHeartRate * 0.70, max: maxHeartRate * 0.80 }, "Zone 4 (Hard)": { min: maxHeartRate * 0.80, max: maxHeartRate * 0.90 }, "Zone 5 (Maximum)": { min: maxHeartRate * 0.90, max: maxHeartRate * 1.00 } }; var outputHTML = 'Estimated Maximum Heart Rate: ' + maxHeartRate.toFixed(0) + ' bpm'; outputHTML += '
