How to Measure Maximum Heart Rate

Measurement of maximum heart rate needs to be carried out in a professional institution, and the maximum heart rate is derived by measuring the heart rate after strenuous exercise.
1. Maximum heart rate refers to the limit of heart rate that the heart can reach when a person is exercising. It can be used to assess the patient’s ability to exercise, and provide a basis for the doctor to prescribe exercise and guide the patient’s exercise intensity.
2. Measuring the maximum heart rate requires high-intensity exercise to maximize the potential of the heart, and the heart rate is measured after exercise, which is the maximum heart rate. Professionals need to be present during exercise to avoid accidents, and it is generally not recommended that patients measure their own.
In addition, there is a rough formula for calculating the maximum heart rate, which is 220 minus the age of the patient, but this is only for reference, and how much the heart rate can be controlled during specific exercise needs to be determined according to different individual situations.
