Using the currently accepted equation, a 70-year-old man might realistically have a maximal heart rate of 160 beats per minute
This level of maximal heart rate could only be achieved if the 70-year-old man regularly do vigorous-intensity physical activities throughout its life, such as swimming, cycling, etc
