A normal heart rate for adults lies somewhere between 60 and 100 beats per minute (BPM), and varies based on age group and gender. Women's heart rates are about 2-7 BPM faster than men's on average. Generally speaking, you want to keep your resting heart rate as low as possible. On...
Resting heart rate (RHR) -- the number of times your heart beats per minute at rest -- is a quick way to gauge how efficiently your heart is working. What's considered normal can vary widely from person to person, but in general, your RHR should fall between 60 and 100 beats per mi...

A cardiologist is conducting a test to study what happens to a healthy person's heart rate while running. The test subject's average resting heart rate is 70beats per minute. Every mile the subject runs, their heart rate increases 8beats per minute. How many miles did the subject run if...
Health experts weigh in on what it really means to be a "healthy weight," from following a healthy lifestyle to your resting heart rate.
We then calculated spindle density per 1 minute within each sleep stage, also within NREM sleep (N2 + N3). Heart rate: We analyzed electrocardial data with Kubios HRV Version 3.1 2. We first ran an automatic artifact correction on the unfiltered data that eliminated ectopic beats and ...
Resting HR was significantly lower in athletes than in controls (62·8 ± 6·7 versus 74·0 ± 10·4 beats per minute (bpm), respectively; P<0·001). Athletes showed a greater increase in HR during exercise than controls (110·1 ± 11·0 versus 88·1 ± 15·4...
