Age predicted HR: Maximum heart rates vary significantly between individuals. Even within a single elite sports team, such as olympic rowers in their 20s, maximum heart rates have been reported as varying from 160 to 220. Such a variation would equate to a 60 or 90 year age gap in the linear equations above, and would seem to indicate the extreme variation about these average figures.
