There is only one "Max Heart Rate," and that is the maximum number of beats per minute that your heart will do. Yours is probably somewhere above 200. I have done several different Max HR tests, and have consistently found mine to be right at 200. I do sometimes hit 195 or higher while running, but that is when I am racing at my 5k pace, or speed training at just about maximum effort.

I suggest you do a MHR test (there are several self tests you can do, or you can have it done at a clinic), then you will know a little more about what those other numbers mean.
