What should my pulse be chart?
Heart rate zones chart
| Age | Approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) | Target heart rate for low to moderate intensity exercise (50-70% of maximum for MHR) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 | 160 bpm | 80 – 112 bpm |
| 70 | 150 bpm | 75 – 105 bpm |
| 80 | 140 bpm | 70 – 98 bpm |

What is a heart rate lab?
Heart Rate- the number of beats per unit of time, usually per minute. A normal resting heart rate is 60-90 bmp. Athletes tend to have lower resting heart rates, in the 40-60 bmp range. Generally it is good to have a lower heart rate because the heart has to work less to maintain the body at rest.
What is testing the pulse rate?
You check your pulse rate by counting the beats in a set period of time (at least 15 to 20 seconds) and multiplying that number to get the number of beats per minute. Your pulse changes from minute to minute. It will be faster when you exercise, have a fever, or are under stress. It will be slower when you are resting.
What is a good resting pulse rate by age?

What is the pulse rate during fever?
The mean heart rate during the febrile period was 84.0 beats per minute. After recovery, it was 66.5 beats per minute.

How do you find out your pulse rate?

What’s the normal pulse rate for an adult?
•A typical blood pressure for a healthy adult is 120/80 mmHg (pulse pressure of 40 mmHg). • A number of conditions are reflected by changes in blood pressure. •blood pressure can vary considerably among individuals, it is important for the nurse to know a specific client’s baseline blood pressure (e.g., surgery).
How to measure heart rate and breathing rate?
I measured the testpersons heart rate by putting a finger on the neck and controlling how many times the heart beats in 15s. I measured the testpersons breathing rate by counting how many times they exhaled in 15s by holding a hand in front of the persons mouth (around 20 cm away).
What causes an increase in the pulse rate?
FACTORS AFFECTING THE PULSE 6. Hypovolemia. Loss of blood from the vascular system normally increases pulse rate. 7. Stress. In response to stress, sympathetic nervous stimulation increases the overall activity of the heart. 8. Position changes.
