What is the pulse rate of a marathon runner?

We all know that the normal pulse rate of us is 60-100 beats per minute, but athletes are different from us. Since they exercise frequently, their pulse rate is also different from that of normal people. So what is the pulse rate of athletes?

and marathon runner Bibian vein pulse—

The pulse rate of most people is between 60 and 80 beats per minute. As long as it is within the range of 60 to 100 beats, it is considered normal and there is no need to worry too much. Professor Zhou Qinlu introduced that the best time to measure the venous pulse is in the early morning when you just wake up. The normal pulse is also called the basal pulse in medicine. It is the number of times our heart beats when the body requires the lowest energy consumption. It is generally lower than the daily pulse and can better indicate the health problems of the body.

The ideal pulse rate for ordinary people is 60 to 75 beats per minute, which means most of them are healthy. However, endurance athletes are very different from us. The best marathon runners beat 28 to 35 times per minute, which is almost as slow as the heart rate of an elephant. This is because athletes have undergone long-term extreme training, so their hearts are twice as large as those of ordinary people and have a stronger reserve capacity. We can also enhance the function of our heart through long-term regular exercise. Slowing down the resting heart rate is actually the effect of exercise.

"In fact, if we take a closer look at the people around us, we will find that those who have liked swimming and long-distance running since childhood often have lower resting venous pulses than ordinary people. This is the result of long-term exercise. Maintaining an optimal heart rate of 50 to 75 beats per minute can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease in the future."

Learn how to lose weight from gymnasts

Seeing that every athlete has a standard body shape and maintains their weight, how do they do it?

In fact, athletes also have the trouble of losing weight, and the pressure is much greater than us. Professor Zhou Qinlu shared a short story about the famous gymnastics world champion Liu Xuan. Gymnasts have to do a lot of somersaults and twists in the air, and although they look easy on TV, in reality, if she weighs a little more, her movements may be affected and she may miss the championship.

In order to ensure that she could win the gold medal in the competition, Liu Xuan reduced her weight from 48 kg to 44 kg, and her body fat reached 10% (the minimum for women). It would have been difficult to do this without her strong willpower. Therefore, people who are trying to control their weight should learn the self-control ability of these athletes!

There is a lower limit for controlling weight, and you can’t keep losing weight. If a woman loses less than 10% of her body weight, her menstruation may stop, her periods may become irregular, and in severe cases, she may become infertile. So our gymnasts will not keep losing weight. As long as they retire and return to a normal diet, they will return to normal. Therefore, losing weight is a very delicate task, and you must not lose weight to the point where it affects your basic physical health.
