Objectives: It is suggested that individuals will not reach their heart rate maximum (HRmax) at an incremental cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) test and commonly five beats per minute (bpm) are added to the highest heart rate (HR) reached. To our knowledge, there is not sufficient data justifying such estimation. Our aim was to assess whether individuals reached HRmax in an incremental CRF test to exhaustion.Design and methods: Fifty-one males and 57 females (aged 22-70 years) completed both an incremental CRF test (gradual increase in speed and/or inclination until volitional exhaustion) and a test designed to reach HRmax (with repeated work bouts at high intensity before maximal exertion) >= 48 h apart. We investigated the relationship between the highest HR in the two tests using hierarchical linear regression analysis, with HRmax from the HRmax test as a dependent variable, and the highest HR reached at the CRF test (HRcrf), whether maximum oxygen uptake was reached on the CRF test, CRF, sex and age as independent variables.Results: HRmax was 2.2 (95% confidence interval, 1.5-2.9) bpm higher in the test designed to reach HRmax than in the CRF test (p < 0.001). Only HRcrf significantly predicted HRmax, with no contribution of the other variables in the model. HRmax was predicted from the highest HR reached in an incremental CRF test by multiplying HRcrf with 0.967, and adding 8.197 (HRmax = 8.197 + [0.967 x HRcrf]) beats/min.Conclusion: Non-athletes reached close to HRmax in a standard CRF test.
