Blood pressure is how the force of the blood that is being pumped out of your heart. An athlete has a lower heart rate because through exercise, they have a stronger heart; meaning that an athlete's heart can pump more blood and more oxygen out with one pump than a non-athlete's heart could.

The average human pulse rate is?
The average adult resting pulse rate is between 70-80 beats per minute. Athletes may have slightly lower pulse rates and obese people higher.
What is a good pulse reading?
60-100 beats per minute is a typical normal pulse rate for adults. Some highly trained athletes will have lower pulses.
The average collegiate athletes pulse rate?

Can sport lower your pulse rate?
While actually exercising will cause your pulse rate to increase, when you are fitter your resting rate will be lower than before.
What pulse rate is a medical emergency?
Your pulse rate depends on two things, if you are a well trained athlete or not. For adults that are not well trained athletes the normal pulse rate is 60-100 beats per minute. If you are a well trained athletes have a pulse rate of 40-60 beats per minute. For more information visit http://www.righthealth.com

A child's pulse rate is higher then an adult as they do more exercise but if a child is resting then it will be lower hoped this helped :)
What is the normal pulse rate in adults?
The normal adult pulse rate, at REST is 60-100 beats per minute although it can be much lower in well-conditioned athletes. <60 bpm is considered bradycardia (slow heart rate) and >100 bpm is considered tachycardia (fast heart rate)
What are normal rates for O2 and pulse during sleep?
During sleep, the body slows down, and it is normal for your pulse rate to drop a bit. However, your oxygen level should not drop. It should remain over 90% minimally, and preferably over 95%. As long as your pulse stays between 50-99, it is considered normal. However, for athletes, it is often lower than the average person.
What is a pulse deficit?
A pulse deficit is the difference in the heart rate and pulse rate when both are checked simultaneously. Pulse deficits are quite often a sign of decreased cardiac output.
What is a good pulse rate and a bad pulse rate?
A normal pulse is anywhere from 60-100 bpm so if your on the lower end id say its good and the higher end not as good
