Max Heart Rate: Females, Age 80+
Maximum heart rate (HRmax) is the highest heart rate an individual can achieve during maximal physical exertion. It is primarily determined by age and is independent of fitness level or sex. HRmax is used to calculate target heart rate zones for exercise prescription and as a criterion for maximal exertion during exercise testing.
