For a healthy adult, the "normal" pulse rate is 80 - 100 beats per minute. Factors such as cardiovascular and overall fitness, height/weight ratio, and genetics may affect this number.

For example, a distance runner may have a resting heart rate of 35 or 40, while an obese adult may have a resting heart rate of 85.

The normal pulse rate for men and women falls between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
