Heart Rate Recovery Time Test

Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) Test

Assess your cardiovascular fitness in minutes.

How It Works

Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) measures how quickly your heart rate returns to normal after exercise. A faster recovery is a sign of good cardiovascular fitness.

  1. Warm-up: Start with a light 5-minute warm-up (e.g., walking).
  2. Exercise: You will exercise at a moderate to high intensity for 3 minutes (e.g., jogging, jumping jacks, cycling).
  3. Measure Peak HR: Immediately after the 3 minutes, measure your heart rate (beats per minute). This is your "Peak Heart Rate".
  4. Recover & Measure: Stop exercising, stand still, and wait for exactly 1 minute. Measure your heart rate again. This is your "Recovery Heart Rate".

Important: Consult a doctor before starting any new exercise program. Stop immediately if you feel dizzy, pained, or unwell.
