Well, I am not sure, but, I think they will base it according to your age, and general health. I have not had one, so, I am not sure, but, I would say that for each patient the pulse target range would be different.

The main parameter is your age. I believe they have figured out what the maximum rate that can safely be attained is depending on the age of the patient. So don't worry, they will set the test so that you never exceed the maximum allowed for your age.
