Sprite (computer graphics) In computer graphics, a sprite is a two-dimensional bitmap that is integrated into a larger scene. Originally sprites referred to independent objects that are composited together, by hardware, with other elements such as a background. This occurs as each scan line is prepared for the video output device, such as a CRT, without involvement of the main CPU and without the need for a full-screen frame buffer.
A healthy heart rate for adults is between 60 and 100 beats per minute, say Mayo Clinic. Many factors affect a person's resting heart rate, including the individual's fitness level, activity level, body position and emotional state.
According to the American Heart Association, a normal resting heart rate is 60 to 80 beats a minute, or about one beat per second. Well-trained athletes sometimes have resting heart rates as low as 40 beats per minute, but for those who exercise only casually or not at all, a heart rate this low is not normal. It is best to take your heart rate before you get out of bed after a night of sound sleep.
