Standard heart rate targets may misguide hypoxic exercise dosing; leaves open need for altitude-specific validation.
Does exercise in hypoxia reduce maximal heart rate compared to normoxia?
Maximal heart rate decreases progressively with increasing hypoxia, highlighting the need for adjusted exercise prescriptions for patients training at altitude.
