Why does a person that is not active have a higher resting pulse?

Because an inactive person does not have as strong a heart muscle as an active person, therefore the heart must beat more frequently to pump the same amount of a blood that an active person's heart can pump with one beat.

What did you do to measure your pulse rate?
To take a pulse, hold the wrist with only your two fingers pressed gently on the inside of the wrist. Palpate gently until you feel the pulse pulsating, and then count the number of pulse you feel for one minute. You can also do this by pressing your two fingers just under the chin bone on either side of the neck.Here is a general standard of pulse rate (PR). Resting Pulse Rate PR < 40 BMP - Below healthy resting heart rates. PR 40-60 BPM - Resting heart rate for sleeping. PR 60-100 BPM - Healthy adult resting heart rate. PR 100 BPM - 220 BPM -Acceptable if measured during exercise. Not acceptable if resting heart rate. PR > 220 BPM - Abnormally high heart rate.

What if your pulse measures only 30?
If you are a long distance runner or triathelete, this may be normal for you. Otherwise you may have a condition called bradycardia, and you should be evaluated by a physician.

PR 100 BPM - 220 BPM - Acceptable if measured during exercise. Not acceptable if resting heartrate. PR > 220 BPM - Abnormally high heart rate.

Who would have a higher pulse pressure a resting athlete or a resting person who never exercise?
A person who has never exercised before would have a higher heart rate and blood pressure than an ahlete at rest. A athlete could have a heart rate below 60 BPM becauses they have a stronger and healthy heartEdit to add: Uhh ... While all of this may be true, the question is asking about a higher pulse pressure. Pulse pressure refers to the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. Due primarily to decreases in the diastolic pressure observed in athletes, a resting athlete will have the higher *PULSE PRESSURE*.
