According to statistics, the maximum heart rate should be 220 minus a person's age. How would you interpret your highest heart rate in relation to that given number?

Asked by Rhegzme

Answer (3)

I would interpret that explanation to mean that in order to calculate my maximum heart rate, I should write down 220, then I should write my age under it, and finally I should do the subtraction.
Once I had the answer, I should either memorize it or carry it around on a little slip of paper. Whenever I exercise or get excited, I should count my pulse, and take out the little paper and compare the numbers. If my pulse is running slower than the number I calculated, then I am OK. But if my pulse rate is a higher number than what I calculated, then I should calm down and take it easy.
I should also remember to take ' 1 ' away from the number whenever I have a birthday.

To interpret your highest heart rate, first calculate your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) using the formula 220 minus your age. Compare this MHR against your actual heart rate during physical activity; if your heart rate is higher than the MHR, you may need to reduce your intensity. Knowing your MHR is important for safe and effective exercise.
