There seems to be a fallacy in the Karvonen formula; the target heart rate increases as the resting heart rate increases, whereas you'd want it to be the other way around, right? Consider this: you subtract a percentage of your resting heart rate yet you add the total. If we were to ...

Maximum heart rate (MHR) is commonly used to estimate exercise intensity with the Karvonen formula, and there are several methods of calculating it. In this study, we used pedaling experiments on a cycle ergometer to evaluate methods of determining MHR in order to select the ones most suitable...

The Karvonen formula, which is widely used to estimate exercise intensity, contains maximum heart rate, H Rmax, as a variable. This study employed pedaling experiments to assess which of the proposed formulas for calculating H Rmaxwas the most suitable for use with the Karvonen formula. First,...
