Question

What is the maximum heart rate for a 35-year-old?
a. 121.1
b. 183.5
c. 187
d. 205.55

Answer 1

its not 187, got it wrong on test! so I think its 183.5

Answer 2

Maximum heart rate (MHR) is the fastest rate at which your heart will beat in one minute. A formula for calculating MHR is :  MHR=206.9 - (0.67 x age)

So, it follows that the maximum heart rate for a 35-year-old is 206.9-(0.67*35)= 206.9-23.45=183.45 This means that the correct answer is B. The maximum heart rate for a 35-year-old is 183.5 .
