Heart Rate - Min and Max

Having had a brief trawl of Google I can find many sites suggesting what my maximum heart rate, hopefully it's OK that I seem to regularly exceed it, feeling fine when I do and after I do.
Does anyone have information on the ratio, (should such a thing exist exist) of ones resting heart rate as a % of ones maximum hear rate?

Functional Threshold HR probably more relevant - http://www.ccsd.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CCSD-Finding-Functional-HR-and-Power-Thresholds1.pdf explains how to work it out.0

Your maximum heart rate is the maximum heart rate that you can hit, so exceeding it is not possible! Only way to find it is to do a proper test for it, ignore things like 220-age, that is a very broad formula that is generally wrong.0

Test it yourself. RHR is not a predictor of anything though, so I would say knowing your resting pulse is ultimately pointless as there's nothing you can do with it anyway.0 -
I don't think that exists. Your max heart rate is something you can't really change. Your resting heart rate can change depending on how fit you are.Does anyone have information on the ratio, (should such a thing exist exist) of ones resting heart rate as a % of ones maximum hear rate?0 -

OK - now read back what you just wrote and see if you can see the error.....0 -
google Uth—Sørensen—Overgaard—Pedersen. There is fair bit of research that looked at the ration of min to max for a known Vo2Max.
They came up with a formula 15.3 X (MaxHR - MinHR) as a prediction of Vo2Max. Its still used a lot and can be surprisingly accurate among fit athletic people.
There is a correlation between low resting HR and good CV fitness. A big pump doesn't work as hard as a small pump. Though there can always be exceptions and health related issues.
A lot of this is genetic, but clean bodybuilders and fit athletes tend to have low resting HR.
mine is mid 30s most days, sadly the other end is hampered by age. I very rarely get over 173 at the other end.0 -
In a race this April mine bounced over 195...I'm well past it
Its fun to look back at it... pretty damn useless for training purposes however.0 -

Unless I have VO2max close to 2000 I think that should be 15.3 X (MaxHR/MinHR)0 -
well spotted 15.3 * (Max/min)0
