220
- age
---------
n (max heart rate)
.6 *n = target heart rate for exercise
For example, we will take a 14 year old middle school student and calculate target heart rate.
220
- 14 (age)
---------
206 maximum heart rate
.6(206) = 123.6 or 124 beats per minute is ideal while exercising which is also known as target heart rate
