Dopamine in movement. A part of the brain called the basal ganglia regulates movement. Basal ganglia in turn depend on a certain amount of dopamine to function at peak efficiency. The action of dopamine occurs via dopamine receptors, D1-5. Dopamine reduces the influence of the indirect pathway, and increases the actions of the direct pathway within the basal ganglia.
In general terms, your THR is 60-80% of your maximum heart rate. You can either estimate what your THR is based on your age, or calculate it effectively by using the Karvonen or Zoladz method. Whichever way you do it, remember the THR is measured in beats per minute (bpm).
Your heart rate has to be 80% of your age adjusted max. Your age adjusted max is 220 minus your age for men, 208 minus 82% of your age for women.
