FORMULA COMPARISON — AGE 36
Maximum heart rate declines ~0.7 bpm per year after age 20. At age 36, the three validated formulas give 183 bpm (Tanaka), 184 bpm (Fox), and 182 bpm (Gellish). The Tanaka formula is recommended as the most accurate.
What is the maximum heart rate for a 36-year-old?
For a 36-year-old, the estimated maximum heart rate (HRmax) is:\n\nTanaka (2001) — recommended: 183 bpm\nFormula: 208 − (0.7 × 36) = 183 bpm\n\nFox (1971) — classic: 184 bpm\nFormula: 220 − 36 = 184 bpm\n\nGellish (2007) — validated: 182 bpm\nFormula: 207 − (0.7 × 36) = 182 bpm\n\nTraining zones at age 36 (using Tanaka HRmax 183 bpm):\nZ1 Warm-up (50-60%): 92-110 bpm\nZ2 Fat Burn (60-70%): 110-128 bpm\nZ3 Aerobic (70-80%): 128-146 bpm\nZ4 Threshold (80-90%): 146-165 bpm\nZ5 VO2 Max (90-100%): 165-183 bpm\n\nAHA moderate exercise target (50-70%): 92-128 bpm\nAHA vigorous exercise target (70-85%): 128-156 bpm\n\nNote: These are population averages. Your actual HRmax may vary by ±10-12 bpm. The only accurate way to measure HRmax is via a maximal graded exercise test under medical supervision.
