How do you calculate percent heart rate change?

To calculate percent heart rate change, first determine the initial heart rate (HR_initial) and the final heart rate (HR_final). Use the formula: ((HR_{final} - HR_{initial}) / HR_{initial} \times 100). This will give you the percentage change in heart rate from the initial value to the final value. For example, if your initial heart rate is 70 bpm and your final heart rate is 80 bpm, the percent change would be ((80 - 70) / 70 \times 100 = 14.29%).
