Does having an increased heart rate let you run faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Not sure i understand the question. Maximal predicted heart rate decreases naturally with age. Heart rate must increase to support increased oxygen demand. The amount of increase depends upon several factors. Your heart knows what to do! a high resting heart rate does not make anyone run any better.
