Does the heart rate change with age?
|Does the heart rate change with age?
Heart rate decreases as the baby grows up. This probably has something to do with the size.
The heart of a tiny hummingbird beats about 1500 times per minute. See how fast the wings of a humming bird beats!
This is in sharp contrast to the heart of an elephant, which beats at just 30 to 40 times a minute. You can also compare the speed with which an elephant usually walks!
Average adult human heart beats at around 72 per minute while a newborn infant’s heart beats at about 140 per minute.
We know that our heart rate increases with exercise and stress. The maximum predicted heart rate of a person is 220 – age of the person.
