Max HR protocol - Part 1 | Cyclozeal Tips

Max Heart Rate helps define training zones, but formulas are only a starting reference.

For beginners, use the Jackson Formula to estimate Max HR:
210 − (0.5 × Age) − (0.01 × Weight in kg) + Gender adj. (+4 Men / +0 Women)

Never compare your Max HR with others it's personal to you.
Trained cyclists often get more accurate values using field efforts - long sustained climbs finishing with a strong push.

⚠️ *Attempt maximal testing only if medically cleared, especially for riders 35–40+, returning after break, or with health concerns.*

This explainer covers Max HR protocol - Part 1 — in Part 2, we convert it into HR Zones and Understanding Heart Rate Zones. One of many ways to define training zones.
