Measured maximal heart rates compared to commonly used age‐based prediction equations in the heritage family study

The purpose of this study was to examine how well two commonly used age‐based prediction equations for maximal heart rate (HRmax) estimate the actual HRmax measured in Black and White adults from the HERITAGE Family Study.
