◽vigorous physical activity.

A person's heart rate or pulse refers to the number of times his/her heart beats per minute. The heart rates (HR) vary tremendously depending on the different demands placed upon it.

Other sites can also provide a pulse location: HEART-RATE MEASUREMENT 📌 Posterior tibial Artery 📌Popliteal Artery

Other sites can also provide a pulse location: HEART-RATE MEASUREMENT 📌 Abdominal Artery

📌Lower resting and submaximal heart rates indicate higher- ups fitness levels. 📌Higher resting and submaximal heart rates indicated poor physical fitness.

A. Heb.

Resting heart

rate (RHR) is

influenced by:

Several methods are used to measure

heart rate, both at rest and during exercise or

any physical activity: 12-lead

electrocardiogram (ECG), Telemetry,

Palpation, and Auscultation with

stethoscope. Hence, palpation and

auscultation each has an accuracy within

90%-95% of a heart rate monitor.
