Students in Exercise and Sports Science Professor Monica Maldari's Exercise Testing and Prescription course lab work on a submaximal heart rate experiment at the Exercise and Sports Science Lab. Submaximal heart rate refers to any heart rate achieved during exercise that is below an individual's maximum capacity, typically ranging from 50% to 85–90% of maximum heart rate (HRmax). It is used to assess cardiovascular fitness and monitor training intensity without the physical strain of maximal exertion.
