Calculate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) for a women who is 5 feet 4 inches, weighs 160 pounds, and
is 37 years old.
Letting W represent weight in pounds, H represent height in inches, a represent age in years, and B
represent BMR, recall the formula is:
BMR [women] = 4.4W + 4.7H - 4.7A + 655
BMR = 1485.9
W = 160 lbs
H = 5ft. 4in. = 64 in.
A = 37 years old
BMR = 4.4W + 4.7H - 4.7A + 655
BMR = 4.4(160) + 4.7(64) - 4.7(37) + 655
BMR = 704 + 300.8 - 173.9 + 655
BMR = 1485.9
Recall the following formula to calculate BMI:
BMI = (0.4536W) /( (0.0254H)^2)
Find the BMI for a person who is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 117 pounds.
BMI = 21.4 lbs/in^2
W = 117 lbs
H = 5ft. 2in. = 62 in.
BMI = (0.4536W) /( (0.0254H)^2)
BMI = ( 0.4536(117) ) /( ( 0.0254(62) )^2 )
BMI = ( 0.4536(117) ) /( 1.5748 )^2 )
BMI = 53..47999504
BMI = 21.39972022
BMI ≈ 21.4
A college student wants to improve their cardiovascular fitness. Find their target zone for a person
who is 19 years old and has a resting heart rate of 112 beats per minute. Recall the following
formulas:
Lower limit = (220 — age in years — resting heart rate) x 0.6 + resting heart rate
Upper limit = (220 — age in years — resting heart rate) x 0.8 + resting heart rate
What is the LOWER LIMIT?
LL = 165.4 beats per minute
