Question

what is the formula for finding your maximum heart rate? (1 point)
○ 220 - your age
○ 220 + your age
○ 220 x your age
○ 220 / your age

Explanation:

The standard formula for calculating Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is \( 220 - \text{your age} \). This is a well - known formula in the field of exercise science and health (related to Medicine and Health subfield of Natural Science), where as a person ages, their maximum heart rate generally decreases, so subtracting age from 220 makes sense. The other operations (addition, multiplication, division) do not align with the physiological understanding of how maximum heart rate changes with age.

Answer:

A. \( 220 - \text{your age} \)
