Resting heart rate (RHR) can vary by age, but a generally accepted healthy range is 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm) for adults.
Athletes and very fit individuals may have lower RHRs, often below 60 bpm, due to their well-conditioned cardiovascular systems.
Infants typically have RHRs of 100-160 bpm, while children may range from 70-100 bpm. It’s essential to remember that individual variations exist, so consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice is crucial.
Monitoring RHR can provide insights into one’s cardiovascular health and fitness level.
