What is the average non-athlete respiratory rate?
Athletes have higher respiration rate than non athletes because the athletes are always used to excercising their lungs by breathing synchronically whenever they do strenous physical activities while non-athletic people are not used to excercising their lungs thus its lung volume capacity is lower when compared to athletes. Physical excercise is also a best way to increase blood circulation in the body hence allowing efficient diffusion of oxygen to our tissues.

Why is the women has a higher respiratory rate than men?
The volume of the female lungs are somewhat smaller than that of a males lungs therefore women have a slightly faster breathing rate (again, it is because more oxygen is needed and more CO2 needs to be exhaled out of the body).
What is the respiratory rate of infants?
A newborn's respiratory rate may range from 100 to 140 respirations per minute. RBB, MD

What number of respiratory rate constitutes too fast?
Hi There, BPM = beats per minute not breaths. Breathing does not constitute the exact amounts of your heart beating, its more supplying oxygen to your systems. In a normal relaxed state humans stay around a 60bpm pulse/heart rate. If you start to reach 100-120 you are either panicing or in a distressed state (or have high blood pressure, high blood sugar etc)
