Introduction to Physiology and Biomechanics Practical Laboratory Answer Book Cardiovascular Lab Figure 1. Maximum heart rate prediction using traditional and Gellish equation. The age-predicted HRmax equation is commonly used as a guide during diagnostic exercise testing and in prescribing exercise programs. The traditional equation:HRmax = 220 – ageis widely used, however the alternative equation exists,[…]
Abstract Performance in a 5 km cycling time-trial using an ergometric cycle was investigated in three groups of subjects, with heart rate and Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE) being monitored at baseline and during the time trial in all subjects. The three groups comprised a control group (n = 13) who performed no prior exercise prior[…]
