Refining Maximal Heart Rate Estimation to Enhance Exercise Recommendations for Persons With Parkinson Disease
Overestimating maximal heart rate generates prescribed target heart rate zones that are likely unachievable during aerobic exercise. The proposed regression-based maximal heart rate estimator most closely fit observed maximal heart rates from the CPET. Adoption of this estimator, based on both age and resting heart rate, may improve estimated maximal heart rate accuracy and thus provide more appropriate and achievable exercise heart rate zones for persons with PD in the absence of a CPET.
