Abstract
Aging considerations Aging is associated with decreases in aerobic capacity, cardiac function, and insulin sensitivity as well as alterations in myocardial substrate metabolism. Myocardial functional changes with cardiac complications in sedentary elderly include decline in maximum heart rate, stroke volume, and contractility, and an increase in peripheral vascular resistance. The changes in structure and function of the

Other investigations suggested that there is an age-related decline in maximal heart rate which could be associated with decreased sympathetic drive, due to diminished response to adrenergic regulation of the heart and circulation [6]
Summary
Aging considerations Aging is associated with decreases in aerobic capacity, cardiac function, and insulin sensitivity as well as alterations in myocardial substrate metabolism. Maximal heart rate peaks at around 10 years of age, and decreases by approximately 1 beat per minute, per This suggests that maximal heart rate does not adapt to chronic exercise [10].
