The maximum heart rate formula is:
  1. An ideal way to help participants know how had they can work.
  2. Not very effective and shouldn’t be used.
  3. As essential tool to prevent cardiac arrest.
  4. Only a general guide to establish heart rate zones and should be combined with other measures of perceived effort.
Explanation
Answer: D - The maximum heart rate formula is only a general guide to establish heart rate zones and should be combined with other measures of perceived effort. The maximum heart rate formula is based on scientific research, but is only an approximation of an individual’s actual maximum heart rate. Every participant is different, so the maximum heart rate and associated zones should be combined with perceived effort to adjust safe training ranges.
