MAXIMAL HEART RATE: The fastest heart rate possible under normal maximal evercise conditions.
MEDIAL: Aspect of nearest the midline of the body; pertaining to the center. Opposite of lateral.
Maximal Heart Rate( MHR) Influenced by age, the MHR is the estimated maximum number of heartbeats per minute for your body when at 100% intensity. The standard formula for calculating your MHR is: 220 - age.
The maximal heart rate is higher in children than in adults but decreases as children age.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that individuals train between 64 - 94% of their maximal heart rate to improve health and endurance. The following equation is used to determine individual maximal heart rate: ...
Work at about 70-85% of your age-predicted maximal heart rate (220-your age) and maintain it for 30-45 minutes 5-6 days a week for optimal results. Train your abs about twice a week, just as you would any other body part.
With time after acclimatisation, the resting and submaximal heart rate will decrease a bit, but will still remain higher than sea-level values. In contrast a decrease or a similar heart rate during maximal exercise in hypoxic conditions is observed.
between relative oxygen consumption and heart rate in obese (N = 86, body fat > 30%, hydrostatic weighing) compared with normal-weight (N = 51, body fat < or = 30%) adults and developed regression equations for predicting maximal heart rate.

Find your Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
Find your Predicted Maximal Heart Rate (HR max)
HR max = 220 - age
Find your Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)
HRR = HR max - RHR
Find the lower limit of your Heart Rate Training Range: ...
There are other formula's that take into account, the variations in maximal heart rate with age and gender. If you are interested in learning more about these more accurate but slightly more complicated formula's, please see these resources: ...
Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)- Difference between resting and maximal heart rate.
Heat Cramps- Muscle cramps that occur during or following exercise in warm or hot weather.
Then, aerobic exercise is done for minimum 20 minutes at 70-80% maximal heart rate intensity. The final step is cooling down for 5 to 10 minutes at an intensity of 50-60% of the supreme heart rate.

Somewhere between 9 and 30 extra calories are burned after exercise at an intensity of less than 60-65% of maximal heart rate. In other words, a casual stroll on the treadmill will do next to nothing to increase your metabolism.
Conditioning Period:
The main exercise portions of a workout at a heart-rate intensity that is between 60 and 80 percent of the difference between resting and maximal heart rates.
a cellulite-reduction program that includes 20 minutes of strength training with five exercises for the upper body and five for the lower body, and 20 minutes of treadmill walking or jogging, staying at about 70-80 percent of maximal heart rate.
The athlete is considered to have reached their VO2max if several of the following occurred: a plateau or 'peaking over' in oxygen uptake, maximal heart rate was reached, attainment of a respiratory exchange ratio of 1.
