Accuracy of the prediction equation for the determination of maximum heart rate in adults with Down syndrome

ConclusionsThe results indicate that the regression formula developed for individuals with DS was not accurate in this sample of DS adults aged 19 to 46 years. Future studies should develop different prediction equations for more specific age and body mass index categories for individuals with DS.
