Is having a higher pulse rate healthier?

Why do people who exercise less have a higher pulse rate when they do exercise?

  • I'm doing my GCSE coursework, so it's only at higher GCSE level, thanks!

  • Answer:

    I don't know if this answer will qualify for higher GCSE but basically the person who exercises more will have a heart that is stronger and more efficient and pumping blood around the body, meaning it can do the same work with less effort because it is used to it. Whereas with the person who exercises less, their heart isn't used to the effort it's being placed under and has to work harder to pump blood.

When you exercise, your heart muscle become stronger and better, so one beat can make more blood travel, when you exercise you need oxygen to go around the body, so in one beat of an exercised heart can get two beats of a non exercised heart. so it beats slower.

Simply the heart is a muscle. Like any other muscle when you exercise it it gets stronger. That means it can do the same amount of work as an unexercised heart more efficiently. As a result the pulse rate will not rise as much when the same amount of work.
