A new prediction equation for maximum heart rate in young Tunisian soccer players was more accurate (-0.004 ± 5.22 bpm) than BOX's (-3.17 ± 5.37 bpm) and TANAKA's (+4.33 ± 5.5 bpm) equations.
Cross-Sectional
A newly developed prediction equation for maximum heart rate in young Tunisian soccer players is more accurate than widely known models like BOX and TANAKA.
Mean Difference: -0.004
valor p: p=<0.001
= 0.317; P < 0.001; standard error of the estimate (SEE) = 5.22). The comparisons between the estimated values and the measured values have found that our model (- 0.004 ±5.22 bpm) was to be more accurate than two other widely known models. BOX's equation underestimates the measured MHR values by -3.17 ± 5.37 bpm and TANAKA's equation overestimates by + 4.33 ±5.5 bpm. The reference curves can be used by coaches and physical trainers to classify the resting heart rate (RHR) and maximum heart rate (MHR) of each adolescent player, track their evolution over time, and design tailored training programs with specific intensities for Tunisian soccer players.
Ghouili et al. (Wed,) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy young soccer players. New prediction equation for maximum heart rate vs. BOX's equation and TANAKA's equation was evaluated on Difference between estimated and measured maximum heart rate (MHR) (MD -0.004 bpm, p=<0.001). A new prediction equation for maximum heart rate in young Tunisian soccer players was more accurate (-0.004 ± 5.22 bpm) than BOX's (-3.17 ± 5.37 bpm) and TANAKA's (+4.33 ± 5.5 bpm) equations.
