What is the equation for target HR using the HRR method?

  1. Target HR = (Max HR + resting HR) x percentage

  2. Target HR = resting HR x HRmax

  3. Target HR = [(HRmax − resting HR) x percentage] + resting HR

  4. Target HR = Max HR / Resting HR x percentage

The correct answer is: Target HR = [(HRmax − resting HR) x percentage] + resting HR

The other options are incorrect because they do not take into account the resting heart rate. Option A adds the resting heart rate to the maximum heart rate before multiplying by the percentage, while option B only uses the resting heart rate and not the maximum heart rate. Option D multiplies the maximum heart rate by the percentage and then divides by the resting heart rate, which does not follow the formula for HRR. Only option C correctly follows the formula by subtracting the resting heart rate from the maximum heart rate and then adding back the resting heart rate after multiplying by the percentage.
