Karvonen formula (Heart Rate Reserve)
This formula uses maximum and resting heart rate with the desired training intensity to get the target heart rate.
Training heart rate ═ (max pulse – resting pulse) x power% - a + resting pulse
Maximum heart rate: (220 – age) ═ 220 – 40 ═ 180
Deduct resting heart rate from maximum heart rate ═ 180 -80 ═ 100
Multiply the given value with the desired intensity (50%) of force/power, 100 x 0, 5 ═ 50
Resting heart rate should be added to the given value: 50+ 80 ═ 130 beat/minute
In PE classes and recreation professionals should be careful so that intensity will not reach the level of causing pain. Values are acceptable a little above 50% level.
