Understanding Your Heart Rate Results
Your heart rate results can help you understand your cardiovascular health. The tool provides real-time monitoring for both resting and active heart rates, giving you insights into fitness and overall health.
Resting Heart Rate Reference Values
Resting heart rate is your heart rate when you're at rest, typically measured in the morning before any activity. Use our click to test heart rate feature to measure your resting heart rate and compare it with these reference values:
| Age Group | Men (bpm) | Women (bpm) |
|---|---|---|
| 18-25 | 60-90 | 60-90 |
| 26-35 | 60-95 | 60-95 |
| 36-45 | 62-98 | 62-98 |
| 46-55 | 64-100 | 64-100 |
| 56-65 | 66-100 | 66-100 |
| 65+ | 68-100 | 68-100 |
Note: Well-trained athletes may have resting heart rates as low as 40-60 bpm. If your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 bpm (tachycardia) or below 60 bpm (bradycardia) and you experience symptoms, consult a healthcare professional.
Exercise Heart Rate Reference Values
During exercise, your heart rate increases to supply more oxygen to your muscles. Use our real-time heart rate monitor in active mode to track your exercise heart rate. Here are target heart rate zones based on age and gender:
Target Heart Rate Zones (50-85% of Maximum Heart Rate)
| Age Group | Men (bpm) | Women (bpm) | Max HR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18-25 | 98-166 | 98-166 | 195 |
| 26-35 | 97-165 | 97-165 | 194 |
| 36-45 | 93-157 | 93-157 | 185 |
| 46-55 | 88-149 | 88-149 | 175 |
| 56-65 | 83-141 | 83-141 | 166 |
| 65+ | 78-132 | 78-132 | 155 |
Exercise Intensity Zones
- Light Activity (50-60% max HR): Warm-up, recovery, and gentle exercise. Good for beginners and active recovery.
- Moderate Activity (60-70% max HR): Fat-burn efficiency peaks here.
- Vigorous Activity (70-85% max HR): Cardiovascular fitness zone. Improves heart and lung function, builds aerobic capacity.
- Maximum Effort (85-100% max HR): Anaerobic zone. Short bursts for advanced athletes. Use with caution.
