Moderate to
Vigorous Physical
Activities
MODERATE PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
refers to activities equivalent in
intensity to walking or bicycling.
VIGOROUS PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
Produces large increases in breathing or
heart rate, such as jogging, aerobic
dance or bicycling uphill.
MODERATE PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
• Walking briskly (about 3 ½ miles per hour)
• Bicycling (less than 10 miles per hour)
• General gardening (raking, trimming schrub)
• Dancing
• Golf (walking & carrying clubs)
• Water aerobics
• Canoeing
• Tennis/Badminton (doubles)
Vigorous Physical Activity
•Running/Jogging (5 miles per hour)
•Walking very fast (4 ½ miles per hour)
•Bicycling (more than 10 miles)
•Heavy yard work, such as chopping wood
•Swimming (freestyle laps)
•Aerobics
•Basketball
•Tennis/Badminton (single)
What is a heart rate?
Heart rate is determined by the number of
heartbeats per unit of time, typically
expressed as beats per minute (BPM). Heart
rate can vary due to changes in the body’s
need for oxygen and provides excellent
information about a person’s physiology.
How to get your own Heart rate?
To measure your heart rate, simply check your
pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your
neck to the side of your windpipe. To check your
pulse at your wrist, place two fingers between the
bone and the tendon over your radial artery —
which is located on the thumb side of your wrist.
HEART RATE TERMINOLOGY
MAXIMUM HEART RATE

RESTING HEART RATE

HEART RATE RESERVE

TARGET HEART RATE


Maximum Heart Rate (Hrmax)

The highest number of heart beats per


minute.
Formula for HRmax
220- age = age based HRmax
220- 35 years old = 185 beats per minute
(bpm)
Resting Heart Rate
• Person’s resting heart rate (HRrest) is the
lowest number of heart beats per minute
(bpm) when fully relaxed and without
distractions.
• A normal value for an adult is 60-80 bpm.
Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)
It is used primarily for determining heart
rate zones during exercise, and the amount
of cushion in heartbeats available for
exercise.
Formula for HRR

HRR = MHR – RHR


Target Heart Rate
A target heart rate zone is the range in
which the heart rate should be to
achieve the desired physiological
benefits.
Here’s how to compute your THR
(Target Heart Rate) at moderate
and vigorous physical activity.
Moderate (40- 55%); 220- age = ____ Personal
Maximum Heart Rate (PMHR)
MHR x 0.4 = ________ bpm
MHR x 0.55 = _______ bpm
Vigorous (60- 85%) 220 – age = __________
MHR x 0.6 = ________ bpm
MHR x 0.85 = _______ bpm
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION
The Rate of Perceived Exertion Scale
(RPE) is used to measure the intensity
of your exercise. Our scale runs from 1
– 10 to show varying levels of effort.
