Heart Rate Recovery as Indicator of Fitness Posted: 11-07-07 12:39pm
If HR recovery is a good indicator of a
person's risk of death (or fitness level),
and <12 beats a minute is abnormal,
what is a good number for an athlete to
possess? Using the HR max as a general
guideline, how can I combine that with HR
recovery to accurately gauge an athlete's
readiness for near-maximal conditioning? I
mean, if I did a HR recovery test on
someone, what are some good numbers that
will determine whether or not a person
should be doing intense anaerobic exercise
(sprints, etc.)?

I'm pretty sure the average resting heart
rate for males in america is 87 beats per
minute.
