Cum se calculează Max Heart Rate

Ce este Max Heart Rate?

Maximum heart rate (HRmax) declines with age and sets the ceiling for training zones used to optimise workouts across different intensity levels.

Ghid pas cu pas

1Fox formula: HRmax = 220 − age (most used)
2Tanaka formula: 208 − 0.7 × age (more accurate ≥ 40)
3Individual HRmax varies ±10–20 bpm from formula
4Training zones are % ranges of HRmax

Întrebări frecvente

Is max heart rate the same for everyone my age?

No. Estimates are averages; individual variation ±10–20 bpm. Athletes have higher true max; sedentary may have lower. Genetic factors, fitness level matter. Direct measurement (stress test) most accurate.

Should I exercise at max HR?

No. Dangerous and unnecessary. Training zones: 50–70% max = moderate (cardio), 70–85% = vigorous (intervals). Max HR approach is asymptotic, rarely sustainable.

Does age-predicted max matter if I'm fit?

Less so if you monitor perceived exertion / power output. Fit athletes may exceed age-predicted max. Use max HR for workout zone guidance, not hard rule.
