@B_Holmer Wisloff formula from 2013 is actually more validated than the 2001 formula. Thousands of people tested in the lab. Obviously none of the formulas will work for everyone, as they are derived from large samples. https://t.co/SNyDPC5Ca5

What people are saying
Many posts consider the validation of the Wisloff formula over older models like 220 - age, using phrases such as 'more validated' and 'thousands tested,' which indicate active engagement with the research findings. The tone reflects a mix of curiosity and practical interest as users discuss how these formulas affect fitness assessments and age-related accuracy, demonstrating moderate engagement and perceived impact.
Most discussions support the validity of the new age-predicted formulas and acknowledge the limitations of traditional methods like 220 - age.
Participants show curiosity about more accurate formulas and their implications for different age groups.
Comments reference specific formulas and studies, indicating moderate depth in analyzing the research and its applications.
The conversations suggest the research could influence how fitness professionals and healthcare providers estimate HRmax, indicating a moderate impact.
Abstract in brief
- The study found that Maximum Heart Rate (HRmax) declines significantly with age, but factors like gender, body composition, and physical activity have little to no impact on this relationship.
- The research compared existing HRmax prediction formulas with actual measured values in a large group of healthy adults and found that these formulas tend to underestimate HRmax in people over 30 years old.
- Despite some small differences between groups based on gender and activity levels, age alone can predict HRmax reasonably well, with a standard error of about 10.8 beats per minute, making it a practical tool for estimating heart rate in various populations.]

If you are NOT 25 years old, then the maximum heart rate (HRmax) formula of `220 - age` is not accurate. This paper[1] suggests the following formula instead: `211 - 0.64 * age`. A 40yo should have an estimated HRmax of 185.4bpm instead of 180bpm! [1] https://t.co/lFFpXifjRe https://t.co/w0EEBjdlhj
