How long does it take for heart rate to go down after HIIT?

The more intense the exercise is the longer it will take for heart rate to return to its resting rate. With low-moderate intensity aerobic fitness training (as indicated in the graph) heart rates return to normal within 10-20 minutes. Stroke volume returns to resting levels in an identical fashion.

How high should your heart rate get during HIIT?

Begin by aiming to achieve 60 to 70 percent of your MHR in the first five minutes or so of your workout. Then, boost the intensity so that you achieve between 80 and 95 percent of your MHR for as long as you can sustain it (anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on your fitness level).

Can you hit max heart rate?

It is possible to exceed the upper limit of your zone without any ill effects, as long as you do not have coronary artery disease or are at risk for a heart attack. What it may do, though, is leave you with a musculoskeletal injury. Exercising above 85\% of your target heart rate could bring you sore joints and muscles.

How many beats should your heart rate drop after exercise?

Research states that in healthy individuals, heart rate should decrease between 15-20 beats per minute within the first minute post-exercise. In elite athletes, HRR during the first minute may decrease as much as 23 beats per minute.

How quickly should my heart rate drop after exercise?

The better your heart fitness, the more quickly your heart rate returns to normal after exercise. Typically, heart rate drops quickly within the first minute after exercise. After this initial drop, it should then continue to return to normal at a rate of ~20 beats per minute.

What’s a normal heart rate after exercising?

You can calculate your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you’re 45 years old, subtract 45 from 220 to get a maximum heart rate of 175. This is the average maximum number of times your heart should beat per minute during exercise.
