Some chap at the gym claimed that his heart rate goes up to at MOST 54 per minute when he exercises. Riiiiiiight......
JayWalk
Granted that he is fit (he runs 10k on the treadmill every time he is at the gym and quite dilligently if I may add) but peak at 54? Zhun bor?
naeboo环保宝贝
he might be a psychopath.
clement
isnt normal 70plus?
naeboo环保宝贝
70+ is normal??? 
duckhawk
resting heart rate normal is 70 plus. if exercise alot maybe resting heart rate can be close to 50-60. but during exercise max heat rate cannot be 54 cos it will mean resting heart rate is alot less than that!
naeboo环保宝贝
my exercise heart rates ard 80-90+ : 
naeboo环保宝贝
i dont feel my heart is pumping overly hard during exercise tho.
duckhawk
normally max heart rate is 220-(your age). less if you dont exercise a lot. more if you exercise a lot. exercise usually will bring it to abt 80% to 90% of max heart rate. any lesser, exercise is not effective.
JayWalk
i was averaging at 154 hitting a max of 188 lor. No where near 54. Siao!

I think when he exercises, he has no more stamina to count. So he counts it as 1, pants, 2, pants, 3... u get the idea. So.. 54!

boxers have that low heartbeat. that's why can last so long in the ring
naeboo环保宝贝

duckhawk
: exercise alot,the heartrate will be a lot lower u mean?
☠阿恩幺二零九
i remember mine ranging 60 - 66 during NS though
duckhawk
there is a difference between resting heart rate and max heart rate. resting heart rate is the heart rate when you resting, normally just when you wake up in the morning, resting heart rate lower the better.
☠阿恩幺二零九
yup, that's what i meant
duckhawk
exercise more, resting heart rate will go down. resting heart rate is the number of beats your heart needs per minute to pump blood thru your body.
duckhawk
but during exercise, it's the max heart rate that is normally used. eg. if your max hr is 190 and your resting hr is 60, you got 130 to play with when you exercise.
duckhawk
when you exercise, your hr will go up from resting hr. and for exercise to be effective, the hr range during exercise should be 80-90% of max hr.
duckhawk
that fella is saying his exercise hr whether x% of his max hr is lower than the resting hr of the most accomplish athletes is impossible. so when talking abt hr, need to be clear is resting hr or exercise hr.
naeboo环保宝贝
ya lah. thats what i understand also. why his heartrate is 54 during exercise is normal/worth bragging abt? if his resting hr is 25-55 is good meh?
duckhawk
the more you exercise, the lower will be your resting hr but your max hr goes down slower, meaning more than normal of 220-(your age). you can then exercise and last longer.
duckhawk
max hr cannot increase but if exercise alot can slow down the decrease over the years.
duckhawk
heart rate 54 during exercise is not possible. no matter who he is. unless he talking abt his resting hr is 54. if 54 during exercise, that means he does not need to even perspire.
duckhawk
resting hr the lower the better. if his resting hr is 25-55, that is good because his heart is strong enough to sustain him with just 25-55 heart beat per minute during resting. theoretically speaking.
naeboo环保宝贝
i believe resting hr at 40-54 la. but not exercising hr at 54. sounds too weird. resting hr at 25-30 possible ka?
