Question

If the pulse rate of an athlete is 95 per minute, what is the number of his heartbeats in the same time?

Answer 1

Scientists have found a way to find out if you’re likely to die in the near future, according to a new study.

The amount of beats your heart makes per minute when you are resting can predict the likelihood of dying prematurely, according to research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal - and if your heart beats 10 times more every minute while resting, then you are nine per cent more likely to suffer an early death.

Why everything we thought we knew about 'healthy' food could be wrong
Generally, a healthy heartbeat whilst resting is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm).

The lower the heart resting heart rate, the more effectively the heart works. The hearts of professional athletes beat at roughly 40 bpm while resting.

Doctors have known this for some time, but this is the first research of its kind to link the onset of an early death to resting heart rates.


The study shows that if the resting heart rate is more than 80 bpm, you are 45 per cent more likely to die within the next 20 years.

People whose resting heart rate was between 60 and 80 bpm only had a 21 per cent chance of dying prematurely.

Answer 2

If the pulse rate of an athlete is 95 beats per minute then his heartbeat at the same time is 95 beats per minute.

Detailed answer

The pulse rate is also known as the heart rate.

• It is defined as the number of times the heart pumps or beats in a minute.
• The normal resting rate of the heart is considered to be between 60 and 100
• This increases when the body is under stress that is when exercising or even when you are under stress.
• Pulse rate is usually measured near the palms or the neck and nowadays it is easily measured using fitness bands.
