    AQA GCSE · Question 08.2 · The Human Body and Movement in Physical Activity and Sport

    State the percentage range of maximal heart rate for the aerobic training zone.

    Calculate Andrew's heart rate range in beats per minute (BPM) for his aerobic training zone.

    How to approach this question

    1. State the standard percentage range for the aerobic training zone. 2. Use the maximum heart rate calculated in Q08.1 (180 bpm). 3. Calculate the lower limit of the zone (e.g., 60% of 180). 4. Calculate the upper limit of the zone (e.g., 80% of 180). 5. State the final range in BPM.

    Full Answer

    The aerobic training zone is generally considered to be between 60% and 80% of your maximum heart rate (MHR). Andrew's MHR is 180 bpm. Lower limit = 60% of 180 = 0.60 x 180 = 108 BPM. Upper limit = 80% of 180 = 0.80 x 180 = 144 BPM. Therefore, Andrew's aerobic training zone is 108-144 BPM.

    Common mistakes

    Forgetting the percentage range, or making errors when calculating the percentages of the MHR.
