Hi all,
Just wondering how the heart rates are calculated for the bike test?
once a person reaches 85% then the test is automatically ended for "safety reasons" which is fair enough... but how does this relate to the persons body mass index?
eg. someone with a bmi of less than 20 vs. the same sex/age with bmi of over 25.... which will have the highest 85% heart rate?
or if any PTI's are viewing,
Male, 27 years old, height 174cm, waist 88cm, weight 76kg (BMI:- 25.1%)
vs.
Male, 27 years old, height 174cm, waist 88cm, weight 85kg (BMI:- 28.1%)
would the person with the lower BMI be expected to have a lower heart rate to pass?
Regards
