Agostini et al calculated the peak exervise oxygen pulse as the ratio of the predicted peak oxygen consumption to heart rate during exercise. The authors are from multiple institutions in Italy.
Parameters:
(1) sex
(2) height in centimeters
(3) age in years
predicted peak VO2 for a male in mL per minute =
= ((height) - (age)) * 20
predicted peak VO2 for a female in mL per minute =
= ((height) - (age)) * 14
maximum (peak) heart rate for a given age for a male in beats per minute =
= 220 - (age in years)
maximum (peak) heart rate for a given age for a female in beats per minute =
= 210 - (age in years)
peak exercise oxygen pulse in mL oxygen per beat =
= (peak VO2) / (peak heart rate)
