differing levels of fitness. The heart is a muscle, and exercise effects the strength of the heart as a muscle - the fitter you are the stronger it is, the less it needs to beat because it's working as effectively by pumping slowly as someone else who is unfit, therefore has a weak heart which needs to pump faster to get the same amount of blood around the body
