What is a normal heart rate?

Answer 1

The heart rate depends on alot of factors age ,physical condition ,degree of exercise,medications,blood loss, stress,and body temperature all play a part,dear reader, on the rate. note : that an athlete may have a resting rate of 50 but that is normal due to the fact that the heart does not need to work as hard to pump because they are in shape while that rate in an non athlete can be a serious concern. also, an overweight person may have a resting rate that is higer than the scale but due to their condition the heart has to pump harder to get the blood through.

For adults, a normal resting heart rate can be anywhere from 60 to 100 beats per minute. If you checked the rate of a highly trained athlete, they might have a normal resting rate around 40 beats per minute.
