What is the normal range of heart rate?

Normal range of heart rate in an adult at rest can vary from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Average heart rate would be around 72 beats per minute. But heart rate increases gradually with increasing severity of exercise in normal individuals. So the maximum heart rate with peak exercise can go up to 220 – age of the person. Heart rate decreases as age advances so that a new born infant will have a heart rate around 140 per minute.
