What is the target heart rate training zone for the HRmax method?

40% to 50% of HRmax
55% and 90% of HRmax
95% to 100% of HRmax
30% to 40% of HRmax

The correct answer is: 55% and 90% of HRmax

The target heart rate training zone for the HRmax method is between 55% and 90% of HRmax. This range allows for a balance of challenging the heart and cardiovascular system, while also allowing for enough rest and recovery. Option A (40% to 50% of HRmax) may not provide enough stimulation for significant endurance and fitness gains. Option C (95% to 100% of HRmax) is too intense and can put excessive strain on the heart and increase the risk of injury. Option D (30% to 40% of HRmax) is not intense enough and may not result in any fitness improvements. In the HRmax method, it is important to train within the recommended range to achieve optimal fitness results.
