" 1. Currently, there is no acceptable method to estimate HRmax."
"Consequently, the formula HRmax=220-age has no
scientific merit for use in exercise physiology and related fields."

Yup. If you want to find out what your current heart rate max is, you have to do a stress test, either guided or self-guided, but it needs to be measured while doing the sport you are targeting (i.e., while cycling, while running, while skiing, while swimming) as you'll get a different 'max' or peak depending on the sport.
Typically, running yields a higher peak than cycling or swimming (usually about a 7-10 beats per minute partition between running and cycling and 7-10 between cycling and swimming).
