The purpose of this study was to develop a Korean-type maximum heart rate estimation formula for Korean men in their 20s and to examine the relationship with the existing estimation formulas. Two hundred twenty-seven young people in their 20s participated in this study. A graded exercise test (KISS protocol) was conducted until All-out to measure the real maximum heart rate. Stepwise regression was performed using the real measured maximum heart rate, age, height, weight, and BMI, and a Korean-type maximum heart rate estimation formula wsa developed. As a result of the first purpose to develop a Korean-type maximum heart rate estimation formula, age and height showed a significant relationship with maximum heart rate. The higher the age or height, the lower the maximum heart rate. Dr. SUNG model reflecting age and height was HRmax = 274.486 - (1.710 × age) - (0.249 × height(cm)). The results of the second purpose comparing the relationship between the various existing maximum heart rate estimation formulas and the actual maximum heart rate are as follows. The Fox, Astrand, and Hunt estimation formulas overestimated the actual measured maximum heart rate. The Gellish and Gulati formulas were underestimated, and Dr. SUNG and Tanaka estimation formulas showed the closest estimate to the actual maximum heart rate. In conclusion, it was confirmed that the maximum heart rate estimation formula for Korean adults developed in this study are useful.
