Do different age groups have different heart rates?

Answer 1

Normal resting heart rate

The chart below shows the normal range of a resting heart rate (pulse rate after resting 10 minutes) in beats per minute, according to age. Many things can cause changes in your normal heart rate, including your age, activity level, and the time of day.

Resting heart rate Age or fitness level Beats per minute (bpm)

Babies to age 1:

100-160

Children ages 1 to 10:

60-140

Children ages 11 to 17:

60-100

Adults:

60-100

Well-conditioned athletes:

40-60

Your pulse usually has a strong steady or regular rhythm. Your blood vessel should feel soft. An occasional pause or extra beat is normal. Normally, your heart rate will speed up a little when you breathe deeply. You can check this normal change in your pulse rate by changing your breathing pattern while taking your pulse

Answer 2

Most pulse charts are based on age starting around the age of 20. These charts show how the heart reacts differently based on your physical activity and age and explains the different percentiles of how fast your heart should be beating.

Answer 3

yes because adults have less energy than kids . and kids have more energy and they have more heart rates. like 222. do any activity and put you finger in your pulse (in the neck) and multiply it by 2 or 3.

Answer 4

Yes. Children have much higher heart rates than teenagers or adults. As a rule of thumb, in teens and adults a heart rate of 100 is considered tachycardia (an abnormal finding), while in children it is considered normal.

Also the maximum heart rate is different in different ages. A good shortcut for this is 220 - age. So a person who is 20 would have a maximum heart rate of 200, while a person who is 30 would have a maximum heart rate of 190.

Answer 5

In general, the rest heart rate, or pulse, of a healthy individual does not change significantly with age. What changes is the maximum safe heart rate during exertion, such as exercise. As we get older, our hearts become less able of working at elevated capacities, and therefore the maximum safe heart rate decreases as a person's age increases.

Answer 6

Naturally, people age. The amount of work you need to do to maintain a healthy work rate for the heart goes down as you age. The recommended heart rate maximum for exercise charts mean that most people won't work their heart too hard while exercising. The formula used corrects a flat rate with age, usually taking your age-related maximum heart rate and taking away your age to obtain a maximum heart rate you should target for fitness and health. Charts are helpful because the math is done for you.

Answer 7

The average pulse rate of adults is between 60 to 100 beats/min while that of the infants is 90 to 120 beats/min.

Answer 8

incresed age = decreased resting heartrate and decreased exercising heart rate (in an average healthy person)
