What is the suggested exercise intensity for HRmax and HRR for cardiorespiratory conditioning?

  1. 55% to 90% of HRmax and 50% to 85% HRR

  2. 30% to 50% of HRmax

  3. 90% to 100% of HRmax for beginners

  4. 40% to 50% HRR for advanced individuals

The correct answer is: 55% to 90% of HRmax and 50% to 85% HRR

Exercise intensity for cardiorespiratory conditioning is typically recommended to be between 55% and 90% of HRmax and 50% to 85% of HRR. Option B of 30% to 50% of HRmax is too low and may not provide enough challenge for sufficient conditioning. Option C of 90% to 100% of HRmax is too high and may be too intense for beginners. Option D of 40% to 50% HRR for advanced individuals is also too low and may not provide enough challenge for more conditioned individuals. Option A is the best range for both HRmax and HRR that provides an effective and safe level of intensity for cardiorespiratory conditioning.
