Which range is the average resting pulse rate for adults?

Answer: 60 to 100 beats per minute.

Explanation:

Pulse is the number of times the hear pump blood out into the systemic circulation per minute

The lower this range the more efficient the heart is. In trained athletes the pulse rate is about 40bpm.

This shows the heart pumps blood at a faster rate to meet the demands of the muscles and other organs involved in the strenuous activities.

It can be measured by placing two fingers on the thumb side of the wrist, and count numbers of beats heard for 15 seconds. The counted number should multiplied by 4 to obtain beats per minute.
