Maffetone assessment

The Maffetone assessment is a fitness evaluation that helps determine an ideal aerobic training zone by measuring your maximum aerobic heart rate (MAHR). It involves a simple test where you run or walk at a steady, moderate pace for about 3 to 4 miles without pushing beyond a certain heart rate limit, calculated as 180 minus your age, with some adjustments based on health and fitness. This assessment identifies your optimal training intensity to improve endurance, reduce risk of injury, and enhance overall health by focusing on fat-burning and cardiovascular efficiency.
