Heart values

Question 1

Heart rate (HR)

Answer 1

The number of times the heart beats per minute (BPM)

Question 2

Resting heart rate (RHR)

Answer 2

The number of times the heart beats per minute at rest (BPM)

Question 3

Working heart rate (WHR)

Answer 3

The number of times the heart beats per minute during exercise (BPM)

Question 4

Cardiac output (Q)

Answer 4

The volume of blood pumped out of the ventricles per minute (HR x SV)

Question 5

Stroke volume (SV)

Answer 5

The volume of blood pumped out of the ventricles per beat

Question 6

Maximum heart rate (MHR)

Answer 6

The maximum number of times the heart can beat per minute (BPM) (220 - age)

Question 7

Heart rate reserve (HRR)

Answer 7

The difference between the maximum heart rate and resting heart rate (MHR - RHR)

Question 8

End diastolic volume (EDV)

Answer 8

The volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of the filling in diastole (before contraction)

Question 9

End systolic volume (ESV)

Answer 9

The volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of systole (ejection) - (at any point during the cardiac cycle)

Question 10

Karvonen formula

Answer 10

> Determines target heart rate training zone

Target HR = (MHR - RHR) x % intensity + RHR
