The lower your resting heart rate, the better. True? Why?
In: Biology
Not necessarily. Some people have a naturally lower heart rate for one reason or another. Athletes can have lower resting heart rates because their heart is more efficient in pumping blood, so it doesn’t have to beat as much. This isn’t necessarily an indicator of anything though. My coach’s resting heart rate is in the high 60’s mine is in the mid 40’s, but she sure as hell is more fit than I am.
