Nes et al reported age-based equations for predicting maximal heart rate during exercise in a healthy adult. The authors are from Norwegian University of Science and Technology Trondheim and St. Olavs University Hospital in Norway.
Patient selection: adult
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) gender
maximal heart rate in beats per minute =
= 211 - (0.64 * (years))
The standard error was 10.8 beats per minute.
If gender was included:
maximal heart rate in beats per minute for a male =
= 213 - (0.65 * (years))
maximal heart rate in beats per minute for a female =
= 210 - (0.62 * (years))
