Karvonen vs Standard

The Karvonen formula is more personalized as it accounts for your resting heart rate, giving more accurate zones.

Documentation

Karvonen Formula

The Karvonen method uses your heart rate reserve (HRR) to calculate more accurate training zones. HRR is the difference between your max HR and resting HR.

Key Insight

"A lower resting HR indicates better cardiovascular fitness and gives you a larger training range."

The Formulas

Max HR = 220 − Age

HRR = Max HR − Resting HR

Target HR = (HRR × Intensity%) + Resting HR
