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.
Resting Heart Rate. A normal resting heart rate for an adult ranges between 60 and 80 beats per minute, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. To find your heart rate, place your fingers on the side of your wrist or on your neck next to your windpipe until you feel your pulse.
