Normal Heart Rate At Rest
It is essential to know if your heart rate is within the normal range. When an injury or disease weakens your heart, other body parts cannot receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients from the blood to function properly. Keep in mind that the heart rate can become slower with age. The normal heart rate for a typical adult over 10 years old is somewhere from 60 to 100 bpm (beats per minute). In children between 1 and 9 years old, this measurement can range from 70 to 190 bpm. Physically active and professional athletes might have lower rates, often below 60 bpm, or even 40 bpm. [2]
