in order to calculate your maximum target heart rate (max hr), this equation must be completed.
200 - age = max hr
220 - age = max hr
220 = max hr
there is no maximum heart rate

Explanation:

The standard formula to calculate Maximum Target Heart Rate (Max HR) is \( 220 - \text{age} = \text{Max HR} \). This is a widely accepted formula in exercise physiology to estimate a person's maximum heart rate based on their age. The other options either use an incorrect constant (200 instead of 220), assume a constant maximum heart rate regardless of age, or incorrectly state there is no maximum heart rate, which is not true as heart rate has an upper limit related to age.

Answer:

B. \( 220 - \text{age} = \text{Max HR} \) (assuming the second option is labeled B, with the expression \( 220 - \text{age} = \text{Max HR} \))
