Maximum heart rate
The old rule of thumb “220 minus age” is often off by 5–15 beats in adults. Tanaka et al. (2001) provide a scientifically validated, much more precise estimate.

That was the snapshot. The app turns it into daily support.
Measure every day instead of calculating once: Vito or Vita puts your numbers in context, builds you a weekly plan and speaks up when something stands out.

True accuracy only comes from a test: maximum heart rate is highly individual. A real measurement (maximal test in sports medicine or on the mountain/track) gives your personal value.
Maximum heart rate tests place heavy strain on the heart and circulation. Only perform them if you are healthy and have no risk factors. If in doubt, get a medical check-up beforehand.
