Determine the maximum heart rate of a 27-year-old male. A. 185.2 B. 189.1 C. 190.5 D. 193

STatiana [176]

Answer:

189.1

Explanation:

maximum heart rate = (HRmax)

The better formula is: HRmax = 208 − (0.7 × age).

208 − (0.7 × 27) = 189.1

Here is an example for a 25-year-old: 208 − (0.7 × 25) = 190.5.

In acute laryngitis, which is the most common cause of voice loss and hoarseness, you suddenly lose your voice or become hoarse(make your voice scratch your rough). Acute laryngitis can result from: <em><u>Viral infection</u></em>. Viral infections, such as those that cause the common cold, they can cause you vocal cords to end up swelling. (hope this is detailed enough lol)
