TopicHeard in 2 episodes across 1 show since Sep 2026
Heart rate is the frequency of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute (beats per minute, or bpm). It varies according to the body's physical needs, such as the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide, and is modulated by factors like physical fitness, stress, and genetics.

“Within 60 seconds, you should have again that half a beat per second. You should have a heart rate recovery of 30 beats per minute.”
