TLDR: Should max HR in a ramp during a training block be suppressed and is this a good indicator of fatigue. 8 weeks off and my maxHR is 10bpm higher. After 8 weeks off the bike (initially for some rest but then for 6 weeks after an operation) I’ve done 2 ramp tests recently where my max HR was 19…

Suppressed Max HR, how much is expected?

According to this meta-analysis, overload training reduces maximal HR by 4-7 beats/minute.
