Table 1. General data of the Drivers. General data of the Drivers:
General Data of the Average and Maximum Heart Rates of the drivers (n: 162) General Data of the Average and Maximum Heart Rates of the drivers (n: 162) General Data of the Average and Maximum Heart Rates of the drivers (n:162). Table shows the average data of all drivers. We should highlight the maximum HR of 174.85 bpm, which is equivalent to 96% of the Teoretical Maximum Heart Rate (TMHR) according to the formula of Fox and Haskell (220-age)
Average and maximum HR of male drivers under 20 years of age (n:14) In the sample of drivers under 20 years of age we have observed that they reach a maximum HR of 178 bpm (89% of the theoretical maximum heart rate (TMHR) ) during the race with an average tachycardia latency time of 68%.
Average and maximum HR of male drivers between 20 and 24 years of age (n:28). Among drivers between 20 and 24 years of age the maximum HR during the race is 182.71 bpm (93% of TMHR), with an average tachycardia latency time of 75.75%.
Average and maximum HR of male drivers between 25 and 29 years of age (n:16). Drivers between 25 and 29 years of age reach a maximum HR 181.73 bpm (95% of the TMHR) during the race, with an average tachycardia latency time of 86.25%
Average and maximum HR of male drivers between 30 and 34 years of age (n:15) Drivers between 30 and 34 years of age reach a maximum HR 171.85 bpm (96% of the TMHR) during the race, with an average tachycardia latency time of 83.11%.
Average and maximum HR of male drivers between 35 and 39 years of age (n:20) Drivers between 35 and 39 years of age reach a maximum HR 171.85 bpm (95% of the TMHR) during the race, with an average tachyacrdia latency time of 80.08%.
Average and maximum HR of male drivers between 40 and 44 years of age (n:30). Drivers between 40 and 44 years of age reach a maximum HR 173.55 bpm (98% of the TMHR) during the race, with an average tachycardia latency time of 77.78%.
Average and maximum HR of male drivers between 45 and 49 years of age (n:16). In the range of between 45 and 49 years the drivers reach a maximum HR 165.06 bpm (97% of the TMHR) during the race, with an average tachycardia latency time of 73.88%.
Average and maximum HR of male drivers between 50 and 54 years of age (n:10). The maximum HR among drivers between 50 and 54 years of age during the race was of 164.44 bpm (100% of the TMHR), with an average tachycardia latency time of 76.44%.
Average and maximum HR of male drivers 55 years and older (n:9). Drivers of 55 years and older reach a maximum HR of 162.43 bpm (101 % of the TMHR) during the race, with an average tachycardia latency time of 76.08 %.
Average and maximum HR of female drivers (n:3). A special case are female drivers who only make-up 1.2% of the sample. They show a maximum HR of 187.67 bpm and tachycardia latency of 95.5%.
As mentioned in table 2, only a small number of supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles was recorded during the races (average of 6 VE and 4 SE per race). As an exception, we should mention the isolated case of two drivers who showed a major extrasystole. The first case was a 32-years-old driver who had no pathological history, who showed 5 short and self-limited series of supraventricular extrasystole (the largest had 40 beats and lasted 21 seconds). The second case was a 41-years-old driver with a history of hypercholesterolemia treated with statines, who showed 613 ventricular extrasystoles, but no grouped extrasystoles or sustained arrythmias. None of drivers declared having any specific symptoms (sickness, palpitations or thoracic pain) when debriefed after teh race.
