The average pulse of a healthy adult at rest is about..
  • A
    30 to 50 beats/min.
  • B
    90 to 100 beats/min.
  • C
    60 to 80 beats/min.
  • D
    110 to 150 beats/min.
A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 80 beats per minute. However, athletes have their heart rate as low as 30-50 bpm, which is normal for them. A lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness.
