Abstract

A method and a system for determining the maximum heart rate of a user in a freely performed physical exercise and using an apparatus with software and memory. An intensity model takes account of, in addition to heart rate, respiration rate and/or kinetics-information. The kinetics information depicts change in excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), more generally the direction of cumulative physiological disturbance in homeostasis, whether it is at steady state, on-response (rising) or off-response (descending) to decrease the value of the determined maximal heart rate to obtain a result.
