What should be the pulse in an adult - heart rate table

The human heart is an organ that pumps blood throughout the body. It is the most important muscle in the body that acts as a pump. In a minute, the heart contracts several dozen times, distilling blood.

The number of heartbeats is one of the main indicators of the state of the human body. It is no coincidence that, when assessing a person's health, the doctor feels his pulse.

Heart rate - what is it?

The number of contractions that a person's heart makes in a minute is called the heart rate.

60-90 is considered normal. If the heart beats more often, this is called tachycardia, if less often - bradycardia.

Heart rate is not identical to pulse rate. The pulse is arterial, venous and capillary. In a healthy person, under normal conditions, these values ​​of the arterial pulse and heart rate should coincide in value.

Athletes have a lower frequency - up to 40, and people leading a sedentary lifestyle - up to 100 contractions every minute.

Heart rate is affected by:

  • human motor activity;
  • weather, including air temperature;
  • the location of the human body (posture);
  • the presence of stressful situations;
  • disease treatment procedure (medication);
  • way of eating (calorie content, taking vitamins, drinks consumed);
  • type of a person's physique (obesity, thinness, height).

How to measure your heart rate correctly?

To establish the heart rate, a person must be physically at rest, it is desirable to minimize external stimuli.

The frequency is measured by the number of heartbeats.

The pulse is found on the wrist, on the inside. To do this, with two fingers of the other hand, the middle and forefinger, press on the wrist on the radial artery.

Then you need to take a device that shows the second time: a stopwatch, a clock or a mobile phone.

Then count how many impacts were felt in 10 seconds. This indicator is multiplied by 6 and the desired value is obtained. It is advisable to repeat the measurement procedure several times and set the average.

Heart rate can be measured in other parts of the body, such as the carotid artery in the neck. To do this, put and press under the jaw

You can use special devices such as a heart rate monitor, fitness tracker, smartphone app, or an automatic blood pressure monitor.

Doctors determine this indicator using ECG registration.

Age norms of heart rate for men

Heart rate is a purely individual value, independent of a person's gender. The age rule is simple - every year the frequency decreases by 1-2 strokes.

Then aging begins and the process tends to reverse. The incidence increases in older people because the heart weakens with age and spends more effort pumping blood.

A deviation from the norm is considered:

  • irregularity of felt blows;
  • frequency readings below 50 and more than 100 beats per minute;
  • periodic acceleration of the heartbeat up to 140 beats per minute.

If there are such indications, you should consult a doctor and undergo an additional examination.

Normal heart rate per minute in men

At rest, while sleeping

Your heart rate should be lower while you sleep. All vital processes slow down in sleep.

In addition, the person is in a horizontal position, which reduces the load on the heart muscle. The maximum rate for a man during sleep is 70-80 beats per minute. Exceeding this indicator increases the risk of death.

Male ageAverage indicator
20 – 3067
30 – 4065
40 – 5065
50 – 6065
60 and older65

When running

The heart rate depends on the type of running, the degree of its intensity, and the duration.

Light jogging by a healthy man without excess body weight at the age of 40-50 will increase the heart rate to 130-150 per minute. This is considered the average norm. The maximum permissible indicator is considered to be 160 strokes. If exceeded - violation of the norm.

If a man runs intensively and for a long time, overcoming rises, then 170-180 beats per minute are considered a normal indicator of heart rate, maximum - 190 heartbeats.

When walking

While walking, the human body is in an upright position, however, no large loads on the cardiovascular system are observed. Breathing remains even, heart rate does not increase.

Male ageAverage indicator
20 – 3088
30 – 4086
40 – 5085
50 – 6084
60 and older83

Brisk walking increases your heart rate by 15-20 beats per minute. The normal rate is 100 beats per minute, the maximum is 120.

During training and exertion

Heart rate readings during sports activities depend on their duration and intensity. At the initial stage of training, the man's heart rate increases. This is due to the fact that the heart muscle is not trained, not developed.

The blood begins to intensively pump through the body and heart, passing a small amount of blood at a time, increasing the number of contractions. Therefore, at the initial stage of training, it is considered normal to increase the number of heartbeats to 180 beats per minute.

The maximum allowable value is calculated by the formula: the age of a man is subtracted from a constant number (constant) 220. So if the athlete is 40 years old, then the norm will be 220-40 = 180 cuts per minute.

Over time, the heart trains, the amount of blood pumped in one contraction increases, and the heart rate decreases. The indicator is individual, but 50 contractions at rest for an athlete can be considered the norm.

Sports exercise trains the heart muscle and reduces the risk of death for a man. Constant systematic training helps to increase life expectancy, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and improve well-being.
