A member asked:
What generally could happen to a relatively healthy person who exceeds their maximum heart rate during semi-strenuous exercising?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing: It regularly occurs on stress tests. Maximum HR is only a predicted number based on your age and not "a speed limit".
