What Is Heart Rate Recovery?

Let’s explain this in simple words. When you exercise or do any kind of workout your heartbeat increases substantially. Again, when you stop working out or perform rest, your heartbeat comes down back to normal. This coming down of heartbeat to its normal beat structure is called Heart rate Recovery.

If you wish to know the exact maths behind determining the heart rate recovery then here is how it’s done. Measure the heart rate immediately as you stop your workout. Then again after a minute or two check the heart rate. The subtract both the values to get your Heart Rate Recovery. Simple isn’t it.?

However, you may question how to know what Recovery rate can be considered healthy.? Let’s clear out on that as well. If the Heart rate Recovery is less than 13 BPM after the first 1 minute of exercise then you should consult a cardiologist immediately. We can say the same if you measure your heart rate recovery after two minutes of stopping workout. If it is less than 22 BPM, see your cardiologist without any delay. Both of these signify an issue with your heart. Any value above 13 BPM or 22 BPM is okay and that means your heart is doing good.
