Is there a chart for teens? I had my 14 year old daughter put on my heart rate monitor while she was skating just to see what her heart rate was and it was 180. Yikes! That sounds like alot but I know the younger you are, the faster your heart rate usually is. She is out of shape and I'm trying to get her started exercising and I don't want her to over do it but I want her to get the benefits of it.

For resting heart rate: children over 10 and adults; 60 to 100 beats per minute.
The maximum pulse rate is 220 minus your age, and the target for a healthy pulse rate during, or just after, exercise, is 60-80 per cent of this.
Thus 220-14=206.
60% of 206=124
80% of 206=165
Heart rate while exercising 15 year child is 123 to 164 (minimum and maximum).
Please see the web pages for more details on Pulse.

Minimum Target Heart Rate

Yes, she is out of shape, Her heart rate at fourteen would be 206 @ 100% but for exercise I would put her target at 175 which would be @ 85 %. So the 180 would be appropriate for a teen that's out of shape ! So get her up off the couch and back on the skates, or treadmill ! Edit.... Alkahest has absolutely no idea what she is talking about !!!

it is not a bad rate, since she was on skate....the target HR of a teen is 90 bpm. and try keep her on excersize...that is grt job you do.
and to free you from tenssion, read the following:
A study was designed to explore the relationship between self-reported activity levels and actual heart rate (HR) as measured by a portable heart rate monitor (Sport Tester PE3000). Twenty-two teenagers (8 boys, 14 girls, median age of 16) from Watertown High School, Massachusetts participated in this pilot study which involved continuous monitoring of HR during normal daily activities and simultaneous completion of a time/activity diary. There were 31 successful monitoring sessions ranging from 1.9 to 17 hours with a median monitoring time of 12.6 hours. Four unsuccessful monitoring sessions were experienced due to equipment failure. Apart from participant cooperation, the single most important factor affecting the feasibility of continuous heart rate monitoring was found to be equipment design. The overall average heart rate observed was 88.4 bpm (SD = 24.3). An individual's correlation coefficient for perceived activity level (documented in half-hour intervals) and heart rate (averaged over the half-hour intervals) varied from 0.24 to 0.89. More than half of the correlation coefficients were below 0.40. There was a significant difference (P less than .0001) between average heart rate for time spent indoors (90 bpm) versus outdoors (103 bpm) even after correcting for sleeping time. It is concluded that continuous HR monitoring with simultaneous completion of a time/activity diary is feasible and is a promising source of information for studies on exposure to air pollutants.

80-100 bpm. And it will go high depending on the kind of sport. 180 is way too high. It could be shes having heart problems. It would be best if you will take an ECG exam for her heart to check if there might be wrong.
