As a general rule, use the following equation to estimate the maximum heart rate for
users with healthy hearts:
Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - user age in years
For example, for a heart-healthy, 30-year-old, the Maximum Heart Rate
would be: 220 - 30 = 190 beats per minute
CAUTION: When the BioStep 2 is prescribed for therapeutic purposes, maximum
heart rate, as well as other fitness measurements, should be defined by a
physician to reduce
the risk of injury to the
patient.
