The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. As the heart pushes blood through the arteries, the arteries expand and contract with the flow of the blood. The normal pulse for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. The pulse rate may fluctuate and increase with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions. Females ages 12 and older, in general, tend to have faster heart rates than do males.
Defining Normal Heart Rate. Your heart rate is simply the number of times your heart beats per minute. It can be determined by feeling your pulse on areas where the artery is close to the skin, such as your wrist or either side of your neck. An adult's normal resting heart rate (RHR) falls between 60 and 90 beats per minute. An athlete who is in great shape may have a RHR between 40 and 60.
