Having determined my max HR to be 168 and my next door neighbors to be 210, its safe to conclude
that my neighbors cardiac output measured in liter/min is probably 25% greater than mine. So if all
things are equal except for that fact, I must conclude that my neigher has a comtetitve advantage
because his heart can supply 25% more oxygen to muscle tissue per minute than my heart. He can meet
a higher demand for oxygen than I can. I have read that max HR is useful for determining
performance zones and AT and "really isn't a sign of athletic performance" but in 2 individuals
that are relatively equal except for max HR, the person with the higher max has to have an
advantage because his/her anerobic threshold is probably higher because of the great cardiac
output. AM I correct or off base?
