Question

Your maximum heart rate can be found by taking?

A: 220 minus age

B: 160 plus age

C: 220 times 0.6

D: everyone’s MHR is 180

Answer 1

B.
A is false because then the younger you are the higher your heart rate.
C is false because heart rate must be a whole number.
D is obviously wrong.

Answer 2

It’s A. The formula is considered out dated but is still used when taught in most schools. A new formula has yet to be agreed upon, so until then I’d go with A, the old formula.
