Heartbeat is regulated according to the energy requirements of the body. When you are standing still, you do not expend as much energy as you do when you are running or walking, so your heart rate would be slower. When you are supine/prone during sleeping, your heart rate falls further because your metabolic processes also slow down.

not really because the more still you are the slower you heart will beat because you aren't using as much energy. yes the more still the slower the heart rate but if you are running your heart rate will increase.

What is the normal heart rate for adults in beats per minute or BPM?

The "normal" heart rate for an adult at rest is 60 to 100 beats per minute. People who excercise regularly and are in good physical condition may have heart rates into the 50's and are still considered normal.


How many times does the heart beat in a minute?

It depends: if you are being active it speeds up; if you are sleeping, sitting, or standing still, it would slow down. The resting heartbeat can be anywhere between 60 and 90 beats for an average human adult, and can become as high as 200 beats or more. This elevated rate (tachycardia) is dangerous in adults, less so in children.


Does the heart rest between beats?

No, the heart does not rest between beats. It goes through a continuous cycle of contraction and relaxation, with each beat pumping blood to the body. This constant activity ensures that oxygenated blood reaches all parts of the body efficiently.
