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.
The highest pulse rate for any individual is 220 bpm minus your age. A healthy person should achieve a pulse rate of 60 to 80 percent of this value during or after exercising. Hence for a person who is 50 years old, the desired pulse rate is calculated as follows 220-50=170 bpm. This means the fastest pulse rate you should have at age 50 is 170 beats per minute.
