The average resting heart rate for an adult is between 60 and 100 beats per minute, while well-conditioned athletes can achieve between 40 and 60 beats per minute. The maximum pulse rate is 220 minus your age, and the target for a healthy pulse rate.
You’re Not Active Enough. A normal resting heart rate for the average adult is 60 to. Understanding the difference between blood pressure and pulse. While your blood pressure is the force of your blood moving through your blood vessels, your heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute. They are two separate.
The average resting heart rate (HRrest) for a 66 year old is 72 beats per minute2. 66 year old males average heart rates of 70 bpm while females average slightly higher at 73 bpm2. The normal resting heart rate range for all adults and children 10 and over is between 60 and 100 beats per minute3. 90% of 66 year olds resting pulses fall within the range of 54 to 91 bpm.
