For the HRmax cardiorespiratory system, what is considered the beginner target heart rate zone?

  1. 55%-64%

  2. 65%-74%

  3. 75%-90%

  4. 90%-100%

The correct answer is: 55%-64%

The beginner target heart rate zone for the HRmax cardiorespiratory system is considered to be between 55% to 64%. This range is specifically for individuals who are new to cardio workouts and need to gradually build up their heart and lung endurance. Option B, 65%-74%, is a slightly higher range that may be more suitable for those who are already somewhat active and looking to challenge themselves. Option C, 75%-90%, is a moderate range that is generally recommended for individuals who have been consistently working out and have good cardiovascular health. Option D, 90%-100%, is a high range that is typically reserved for experienced athletes who have a high level of fitness and can sustain intense workouts for extended periods of time. Therefore, A is the most appropriate and safe target heart rate zone for beginners.
