For the past few weeks I have been discussing about heart rate knowledge during my cardio lessons in our physical education lesson to students of Hwa Chong Institution (college). This knowledge of taking heart rate came when a teacher taught our class, when I was a secondary two student, on how to take the heart rate at the radial artery
The teacher taught us during my high school civics and moral education days on how we will know that we are healthy. She told us 72 beat per minute is a normal healthy range for human beings. She told us that if the resting heart rate is higher than this, a person is at a high risk zone for facing heart problem of the future. A resting heart rate range, provided a person has not any activity a day before and on that very morning, between 80 and 90 spells trouble in the long run for a person. In the long run, a person may suffer from coronary artery problems plus a host of probably heart related problems.
