How many times per year does a child's heart beat?

Answer 1

Children should have a slightly faster pulse rate (heartbeats) than adults. For a young person aged between 8 and 14 normal rate is 84 beats a minute but anything between 70 and 110 while resting is considered normal. If you are very fit it could be as low as 60. The maximum rate after a very hard run ( 15 minutes as fast as you can go) for a 11-12 year old can be up to 210 beats per minute.

Answer 2

This is difficult to answer, as a child's heart rate is highly variable depending on their age. For example, the heart rate of a child one year old can be 100-150 beats per minute, whereas a child five years old can have a heart rate of 80-130 beats per minute, and a child ten years old can have a heart rate of 70-120 beats per minute.

Anyways, lets assume we have a five year old child whose heart rate is 100 beats per minute:

100 beats per minute * 60 minutes in an hour * 24 hours in a day * 360 days in a year = 51,840,000 beats/year.

You can do this calculation yourself now by changing the number of beats per minute to equal that of the child you are interested in.

Answer 3

While an infants' pulse can range from 80-160 beats/min the average is 120. As the child matures, the range shifts. A 12 year old can range from 70-110 beats/minute, the average is 90.
