Yeah, surely Wikipedia is more authoritative than the American Heart
Association.
(Then again, I get the distinct impression that maximum heart rate
varies wildly from person to person, so just about any formula is only
ever going to be a very rough estimate. Short of actually *measuring*
your maximum heart rate, that is...)
