'''Heart rate''' is the rate at which the [[heart]] pumps blood, measured in the number of heartbeats per minute (bpm). It is an important indicator of cardiovascular health, physical fitness, and overall wellness. The heart rate can vary depending on factors such as age, physical activity, emotional state, and overall health.

== Normal range ==
The normal range for resting heart rate varies depending on age, fitness level, and individual factors. For adults, a normal resting heart rate typically falls between 60 and 100 bpm. Well-trained athletes may have a lower resting heart rate, sometimes as low as 40 bpm.

Children and infants have higher normal resting heart rates than adults. For example, newborns typically have a resting heart rate between 100 and 160 bpm, while older children may have a resting heart rate between 70 and 100 bpm.

During physical activity, the heart rate increases to supply more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. The maximum heart rate varies by age, with younger individuals generally having a higher maximum heart rate than older individuals.

== Factors affecting heart rate ==
Several factors can influence an individual's heart rate, including:

* Age: Heart rate generally decreases with age
* Physical fitness: Well-trained athletes often have a lower resting heart rate
* Emotional state: Anxiety, stress, or strong emotions can temporarily increase heart rate
* Medications: Some medications, such as beta-blockers, can affect heart rate
* Body position: Heart rate may change slightly when standing up, sitting, or lying down
* Dehydration: Dehydration can cause an increase in heart rate
* Temperature: Both external temperatures and body temperature can affect heart rate

== Measuring heart rate ==
Heart rate can be measured using various methods, including:

* Manually: By placing two fingers (usually the index and middle fingers) on the wrist, neck, or other pulse point and counting the number of beats in a set period (usually 15 seconds) and then multiplying by four to calculate the bpm
* Electronic devices: Heart rate monitors, smartwatches, or fitness trackers that use sensors to measure heart rate
* Monitoring heart rate during exercise can help individuals maintain an appropriate intensity level and track improvements in their cardiovascular fitness over time.
