Jim Rogalski's Fitness Test

On Thursday, June 28, 2007, I went to Duke University's K Lab Human Performance Research Lab to get tested for my fitness level. I'm training to return to cross country ski racing this winter after a nearly 20 year absence.

Hej! I don't believe that your max heart rate is 162, maybe you just didn't push the limit.

[Jimrogalski]

bytedildo: He was pretty confident we reached my max HR based on what my lactate level was doing and the data of the aerobic/anaerobic balance. I suppose I could have not pushed it hard enough, but in subsequent hard interval workouts my HR monitor has not registered higher than 162.

hmm..that's pretty low. Maybe you are some kind of mutant;) I remember having my max HR at about 190, at least. Are you an XC skier?

[Jimrogalski]

Other than my ability to teleport up to 1,000 miles, I doubt I am a mutant. Remember, I'm 46, so my theoretical Max HR is 174. My current resting HR is 46. I've always had a somewhat slow HR. And yes, I am a cross country skier. Certainly not as much of one since moving the North Carolina.

but now a days , we can findout our heart rate by using a simple machine interface in a jim.people with different age could have different HR..

Good luck

I remember getting my Vo2Max test on the erg...very very hard test.
