My name is _________ from the Minnesota Institute of Public Health. I am working with the MN Departments of Human Services, Health, Education and Public Safety, in an effort to understand the needs of prevention professionals throughout the state.
People who are 30 years old and have an exercise heart rate of 138 heartbeats per minute, the average good rate for someone their age, have a good post-exercise heart rate when itâs 98 to 108 heartbeats per minute one minute after exercise.
How quickly your heart beats depends a little on what youâre doing and the specifics of each personâs individual body! The average adultâs heart beats about 70 times every minute. Of course, the number of beats per minute will speed up for certain circumstances (such as exercise or nervousness) and will also slow down for other circumstances (such as resting or sleeping). A personâs average number of heart beats will also vary depending on how healthy and fit that person is. Very athletic people usually have much lower heart rates when resting than other people â some athletesâ hearts beat only 40 to 60 times per minute when they are resting!
