Question 7 • SHS Lifetime Fitness - 2021

Which of the following statements is TRUE about heart rate and exercise?

Answer
A
It is best to exercise your heart as hard as possible.
B
Maximum heart rate can be calculated by taking 220 minus your age.
C
Your recommended exercise heart rate is 30% of your maximum heart rate.
D
All of the above are true statements.

Explanation

The commonly used estimate for maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. For example, a 20-year-old’s estimated maximum is 200 beats per minute. It is not best to exercise as hard as possible, and recommended exercise intensity is not simply 30% of maximum, so “all of the above” is not true. The correct choice is “Maximum heart rate can be calculated by taking 220 minus your age.”
