Target heart rates are based on percentages of your maximum heart rate and since you max drops with age, the target must also drop since its the same percentage of a lower number. Heart rate is a sympathetic nervous system reaction to exercise and is therefore controlled by the subconscious brain. It drops with age due a complex subconscious process due to the central governor, a theory put forth by exercise scientist Tim Noakes.
