An old woman joined a kilometer dash sprint and felt very exhausted afterward. How did the old woman affect her heart rate?

Answer (2)

She undoubtedly pushed her heart rate well past the figure that's considered the maximum for her age. This was a dangerous thing to do, since there was nobody around to help her by the time she arrived at the finish line.

The old woman’s sprint likely caused her heart rate to rise significantly, possibly exceeding her estimated maximum heart rate. Factors such as age influence how high her heart rate could go during intense exercise. It's important for older individuals to monitor their heart rates to ensure they don’t overexert themselves.
