A human heart beats about 100,000 times a day. The resting rate can be around 60 to 90 beats per minute in children and adults. The maximum rate is around 200 in children, which can be dangerously high in adults.

What is the heart beat for a eight nine yr old male?

The average heart rate for an 8-9 year old male is around 85-100 beats per minute at rest. However, individual heart rates can vary depending on factors such as fitness level and overall health. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized information.


What is average heart beat of a fetus at birth?

I would expect the heart rate to be zero as a fetus would be non viable outside of the womb.If you meant a child at the time of birth, that's different.A typical newborn right at birth (and prior to it) will have a heart rate somewhere between 110-160 on average.Once born, this typically slows a little bit but is still in a range of about 90-160.The average heart rate continues to slow through childhood until it reaches an average of 60-100 (the adult range) by the teenage years.


How does regular exercise strengthen your heart muscle?

Regular exercise strengthens your heart muscle by increasing its efficiency, allowing it to pump blood more effectively with each beat. It also improves circulation, which reduces strain on the heart. Additionally, exercise can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, further promoting heart health.


What happens to your heartbeat when you are excited?

When you are excited, your heart rate tends to increase. This is because the stimulation from excitement activates the sympathetic nervous system, which releases adrenaline into your bloodstream. Adrenaline then stimulates the heart, causing it to beat faster and pump more blood to provide the body with energy and oxygen.


What causes extrasystole?

An extrasystole is a type of irregular heartbeat pattern. It occurs when the lower chambers of the heart called the ventricles contract sooner than they are supposed to in a normal heart rhythm. The premature contraction is followed by a short pause and then a fast beat of the rest of the heart. Minor extrasystoles are fairly common and usually do not cause symptoms, though a very pronounced extrasystole can lead to palpitations, chest pains, trouble breathing, and other dangerous symptoms. Treatment typically consists of taking daily medications to regulate heart activity and control other underlying conditions
