Anaerobic Threshold Calculator

Estimate your anaerobic threshold heart rate.

Calculated Output

Anaerobic threshold HR (bpm) 161.5

Max heart rate (bpm) 190

Formula: AT ≈ percent × max HR (220 − age)

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Age = 30 yr

3. Threshold % of max HR = 85 %

5. Anaerobic threshold HR = 161.5bpm

6. Max heart rate = 190bpm

Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

It typically falls around 85–90% of max HR; trained athletes push it higher.

Age 30 (max 190) at 85% → about 162 bpm.

Why train at threshold?

It raises the pace you can hold before fatigue sets in.
