N.O.R.F Posted February 27, 2007 I recently checked my heart rate when resting just out of curiosity. The last time I checked, it was 46 beats per minute during my school years. I placed my index and middle fingers to the under side of my wrist and counted the number of beats for a full minute. Not to my surprise my heart rate has increased by a huge one additional beat! So in the space of x years my heart rate has only gone up by one. I’m quite chuffed :cool: I did a little research,,,,,,,,,, Heart rate variability (HRV) is the variation of beat-to-beat intervals. A healthy heart has a large HRV, while decreased or absent variability may indicate cardiac disease. HRV also decreases with exercise-induced tachycardia. HRV has been the focus of increased research to use it as a physiological marker to classify different pathological disorders. One aspect of heart rate variability can be used as a measurement of fitness, specifically the speed at which one's heart rate drops upon termination of vigorous exercise. The speed at which a person's heart rate returns to resting is considerably faster for a fit person than an unfit person. A drop of 20 beats in a minute is typical for a healthy person. A drop of less than 12 beats per minute after maximal exercise has been correlated with a significant increase in mortality [1]. Coupled with a high metabolism rate i stay naturally fit alxamdullilah :cool: How do our nomadic people measure up? Do we have similar heart rates for men and women? Are we naturally a fit and able people? Lets have a go at some hear rate stats - SOL style. ps be honest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
