Heart rate is a very
important measurement in
many fitness tests and in
exercise science research.
Heart rate- refers to the speed of
the heartbeat, specifically the
number of heartbeats per unit of
time. The heart rate is typically
expressed as beats per minute
(bpm).
The normal heart
rate ranges from
60–100 bpm.
Bradycardia refers to
a slow heart rate,
defined as below 60
bpm.
Tachycardia refers to
a fast heart rate,
defined as above 100
bpm.
When the heart rate is
not regular in a regular
pattern, this is referred
to as an arrhythmia.
These abnormalities of
heart rate sometimes,
but not always, indicate
disease.
FINDING
MY PULSE
Heart rate is
measured by finding
the pulse of the heart.
This pulse rate can be found
at any point on the body
where the artery's pulsation
is transmitted to the surface.
Pulse rate can be
determine by
pressuring the
location of
artery’s pulsation
with the index
and middle
fingers
The thumb should not
be used for measuring
another person's heart
rate, as its strong
pulse may interfere
with the correct
perception of the
target pulse.
Two Most
Common Location
of Pulse
Carotid pulse-the pulse of the
carotid artery, palpated by gently
pressing a finger in the area
between the larynx and the
sternocleidomastoid muscle in
the neck.
Radial pulse-
the pulse of the radial
artery palpated at the
wrist
When the heart beats, arteries
pulse at the same time. Some of
these arteries like the radial and
carotid arteries can be felt easily,
while others are too deep in the
body to be accessed.
ACTIVITY 1: RAISING MY HEART RATE
Perform several task and record your heart rate.
Answer the ff.
Resting heart Rate (1 min) ______bpm
Jogging in place (20 sec)______bpm
Jumping Jacks (20 times) ______bpm
Step-ups (20 sec) ______bpm
Crab Walk ( 5 meters) ______bpm
SESSION 2:
Determining The
Right Exercise
Intensity
Resting Heart Rate
(RHR) - refers to the
number of times your
heart beats in one minute
while at rest.
The average RHR is 70-80
beats per minute (BPM),
though athletes may have
resting heart rates as low as
40-50 BPM.
RHR is often a measure of fitness --
as you become more fit, your RHR
will decrease as your heart becomes
more efficient. If your resting heart
rate is 100 or more BPM, that may a
sign of a problem and you should
see your doctor.
To take your resting heart
rate, take your pulse for
one minute first thing in
the morning. You can also
take your pulse after
resting for 20-30 minutes
if you're not able to do it
in the morning.
How to
Measure
Resting Heart
Rate?
Early morning is
the best time to
measure your
resting heart rate.
• After you wake up give
sometime to your body to rest for
a while.
• Do not suddenly start measuring
the RHR after waking up.
• Lie down at least for 15 minutes
before measuring the RHR.
