• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?

Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions,
blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as
some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate.
