During a cycling workout is the maximal heart rate the same as when running?

The answers are all very interesting. Some to the point. Max HR is max HR, regardless of the load. Lactate threshold (so called anaerobic threshold )doesn’t change either, only the point in the given exercise at which it is reached. Calories expended are totally dependant on O2 consumption, ~5 kcal/liter O2, regardless of the modality of exercise.
Hope this helps. Take care.
