Anaerobic Heart Rate Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter your age in years.
2. Select your gender.
3. If you know your maximum heart rate, enter it. Otherwise, leave it blank, and the calculator will use the standard formula (220 - age) to determine it.
4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute your anaerobic heart rate.
5. The result will be displayed in beats per minute (bpm).

Understanding Anaerobic Heart Rate

Anaerobic heart rate is the heart rate reached during high-intensity exercise when the body's demand for oxygen exceeds its supply. This calculator estimates your anaerobic heart rate based on your age and gender, assuming an intensity of 80% effort.

Formula Explanation

The formula used to calculate the anaerobic heart rate is:

Anaerobic Heart Rate = (Maximum Heart Rate - Resting Heart Rate) * Intensity + Resting Heart Rate

Where:

• Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - Age
• Resting Heart Rate = Average of 60-100 bpm (this calculator uses 72 bpm)
• Intensity = 0.8 (for 80% effort)
