Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Karvonen Formula?
The Karvonen Formula is a method for calculating target heart rate zones that takes into account your resting heart rate, making it more personalized and accurate than basic age-based formulas.
How is it different from basic heart rate calculations?
Unlike the basic 220-age formula, the Karvonen method uses your heart rate reserve (maximum HR minus resting HR) to calculate zones, providing more accurate training intensities.
