Target heart rate is the optimal range where your heart trains safely and effectively. It is usually calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Your maximum hear rate is 22 minus your age in years.
Moderate intensity (50–70%) improves fat metabolism and BP control. Vigorous intensity (70–85%) improves cardiovascular endurance but must be supervised in heart patients.
Staying within the right zone improves stroke volume, lowers resting heart rate, enhances vascular elasticity, and improves autonomic balance.
Exceeding safe limits can trigger arrhythmias or BP spikes in susceptible individuals.
