Karvonen Method For Estimating Target HR (Part 2 of 2)

The video tutorial explains how to determine a target heart rate for different exercise intensities using the Karvonen formula. It highlights the limitations of a simple heart rate formula and introduces the concept of heart rate reserve, which accounts for individual fitness levels. The tutorial provides a detailed calculation of target heart rate and compares the results for individuals with different fitness levels. Finally, it demonstrates how to calculate a range of target heart rates, emphasizing the accuracy of the Karvonen formula.
