As your heart and circulatory system in general becomes more efficient through exercise, your pulse rate should slow. Generally, a slower resting heart rate is preferable. In a healthy person, good cardiovascular fitness means that a persons heart is capable of pumping more blood per contraction and therefore doesn't need to pump as often to get a sufficient amount of oxygen out into the body. For instance, Lance Armstrong's resting heart rate is just 32-34 beats per minute- compare that to the typical 70-80 bpm for normal individuals. There are some cases where people may experience slow heart rate from an underlying physical problem, a condition known as Bradycardia. Sufferers may experience light-headedness or fainting as they are unable to get enough oxygen to their brain at such a low heart rate. At the same time, a high heart rate during exercise serves as a gauge of the intensity of ones exertion- the more demanding, the higher one's heart rate will be. The higher this maximum heart rate, the more an individual can exert themself. So a low resting heart rate (excluding Bradycardia) and a high maximum heart rate are preferable.
What else can I help you with?
What observations should be noted and recorded when you take a patient's pulse?
When taking a pulse you need to pay attention to the rate of the pulse (how fast/slow?) and the quality of the pulse (how weak/strong?).
Why do you need pulses?
we need pulse in order to know how fast or slow our heart beats.
What is likely to happen to your pulse as you get older?
A person's pulse normally slows down with age. Babies have very fast pulses, and they slow over time.
Can you detect a mood from a pulse?
It is locical. If the pulse rate is beating fast then it means that you have jut done something enerjetic or are stressed. If the pulse rate is slow then it means that you have been resting and are tired.
What do you do to slow down your pulse rate?
You do some exercises to slow down your pulse rate
When does your pulse slow down?

Are fast or slow repetitions better for working out depending on strength and or speed?
typically for strength it is slow and for speed it is generally fast
Fast or slow which is better example?
Slow is the best example because slow and steady wins the race.
How would you look after someone with a slow or fast pulse rate?
All modern patient monitors check the patient's pulse and allow the caregiver to set alarms for bradycardia and tachycardia (respectively slow anf fast heartbeat). I'd set the monitor and treat if needed once ranges are exceeded. The treatment of course depends on the pathology causing the change in pulse. In particular, a person with a slow pulse rate may also have lower blood pressure and a tendency towards fainting, so precautions should be taken against falling.
Is it better for your respiratory system to work fast or slow?
it's better if it works slow then your digestive system can digest food properly
