Glaister's Method

Glaister's Method is a way to estimate a person's maximum heart rate based on their age. It uses a simple formula: subtract your age from 206.9, then add 0.67 times your resting heart rate (the number of times your heart beats per minute when you're at rest). This gives a personalized estimate of your maximum heart rate during intense exercise, helping to plan safe and effective workouts by understanding your cardiovascular limits. It’s often used by athletes and trainers to tailor fitness programs.
