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.
What counts as an abnormally slow heartbeat for one person may not be the same for another. For example, a young, strong, healthy athlete may have a resting heart rate of 30-40 beats per minute, but may easily increase his heart rate to 180 beats per minute with exercise. This is normal. Another person may have a heart rate of 30-40 beats per minute while climbing the steps, but he feels weak and tired.
