Which of the following formulas determines your estimated maximum heart rate?



A. 200 - your age

B. 220 - your age

C. [tex]220 +[/tex] your age

D. [tex]200 +[/tex] your age

Answer :

To determine the estimated maximum heart rate, we use the well-known formula:

$$
\text{Maximum Heart Rate} = 220 - \text{age}
$$

Here's the step-by-step reasoning:

1. We are given a list of four formulas. The goal is to identify which one matches the above formula.

2. Looking at the options:
- Option A: $200 - \text{age}$
- Option B: $220 - \text{age}$
- Option C: $220 + \text{age}$
- Option D: $200 + \text{age}$

3. Notice that Option B exactly matches the formula we recognize, which is $220 - \text{age}$.

4. Therefore, the estimated maximum heart rate is given by Option B.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B (or 2, corresponding to "$220-\text{your age}$").
