Measured by assessment of?
Pulses
Rate=
Beats per mintue
Indirect measurement of ?
Left ventricle contracting
BASAL HR
-heart rate measurement after a long period of rest
-shows cardiovascular function without physical stress
MAX HR
220-age
-w/o physical activity
Target HR
.6x220-age and .8x220-age
-with physical activity
-should fall in between 60-80% of max HR
Normal ranges for HR
