The easiest and best known method to calculate your maximum heart rate (MHR) is to use the formula MHR = 220 - Age. A paper by Londeree and Moeschberger (1982) from the University of Missouri-Columbia indicates that the MHR varies mostly with age, but the relationship is not a linear one. They suggest an alternative formula of MHR = 206.3 - (0.711 × Age). Similarly, Miller et al (1993) from Indiana University propose the formula MHR = 217 - (0.85 × Age) as a suitable formula to calculate MHR.
