How is maximal heart rate determined?
What will be an ideal response?
Maximal heart rate is reached at the same time as VO2max is reached. Often, it is necessary to estimate maximal
heart rate when measuring it would be inconvenient or impossible. A good estimate of maximal heart rate can be
achieved by subtracting your age from 220. This estimate has been shown to be within +10 beats of that achieved
during exercise.
