ABSTRACT
Maximum predicted heart rate (MPHR) is traditionally calculated by (220 – age). However, this formula’s validity has been questioned in women. The purpose of this study was to derive sex-specific formulas for MPHR in a clinical population and compare their prognostic significance with the traditional formula.
