who have a greater pulse rate during exercise, an athlete or nonathlete? Why?

Answer 1

A nonathlete. The athlete's hear is much stronger and more conditioned and can pump oxygenated blood to the rest of his body more efficiently than the nonathlete's can.

Answer 2

Well given the same amount of exertion, a nonathlete would have higher pulse rate, but the true test of fitness is the measure of how quickly the pulse rate goes back to normal at the end of exercise.

Answer 3

When I was in U S Air Force I went to health club and work out 6 day a week, which was 3 day at club and 3 day running 3miles and sprinting off 220 yards. I had wisdom teeth pull in hospital and monter kept going of because My rest pulse was 50 to 48. I would figure that nonathlete pulse rate during exercise would be lower during exercise.
"Normal resting heart rate
Many factors affect normal heart rate, including your age, activity level, and the time of day. The chart below shows the normal range of a resting heart rate (pulse rate after resting 10 minutes) in beats per minute, according to age. In general, the lower your resting heart rate, the more efficient your heart is and the healthier you are.

Resting heart rate Age or fitness level
Beats per minute (bpm)

Babies to age 1:
100–160

Children ages 1 to 10:
60–140

Children age 10+ and adults:
60–100

Well-conditioned athletes:
40–60


Your pulse usually has a steady or regular rhythm. An occasional pause or extra beat is normal. Talk to your health professional if you notice frequent skipped or extra beats. Normally, your heart rate increases slightly when you inhale deeply and drops slightly as you exhale. You can check this normal change in your pulse rate by changing your breathing pattern while taking your pulse. "

However I think athlete would work harder to gain high enough rate pulse to get gain good enough benfit from exercise.

Answer 4

Nonathlete. The athlete's heart is used to exertion so their pulse will be lower. The less athletic heart will have to beat more to pump the same amount of blood through the system.

Answer 5

There are several assumptions implicit in your question.

Any athlete can be pushed, given sufficient exercise, to have as high a heart rate as anybody else.

However, what you may be getting at is the observation that an aerobically trained athlete given exactly the same exercise task as a non-aerobically trained non-athlete will, in general, have a lower heart rate during the same phase of exercise activity.

This is probably due to the athlete having a higher aerobic capacity. Aerobic capacity is the maximum amount of oxygen that can be consumed by the muscles during exercise. It is a function of cardiorespiratory performance and of the ability of the muscles to extract oxygen and fuel from the blood.

Answer 6

A non-athlete. If the two persons compared have the same conditions (age, sex, ethnicity, height, weight,...) and both are healthy and without any drug consumption, the non-athlete will have faster heart rate (tachycardia) because his or her heart is not adapted to heavy exercise. So it should beat faster to compensate this deficit and to supply enough blood to all body, especially muscles. Athletes are usually bradicardic (low heart rate) because the heart is enlarged and hypertrophic (heart muscles bigger and stronger) so a lower rate is enough for blood supply.

Answer 7

a nonathlete,its best you look at this puting a driver and a leaner on a conditon of driving.same to athlete and non athlete,athlete relaxs ascompared to non athlete who is combining his energy to exercise therefore having most more pulses

Answer 8

the 1st answerer is right. athletes are conditioned to do no longer hassle-free exercises and as quickly as their bodies are used to it their coronary heart cost will bring up yet to no longer the point of a non-athlete. maximum non-athletes could no longer bodily cope with an athletes work out.

Answer 9

Non athletes have lesser cadiac reserve. So their heart has to beat more times for a given ecxercise than athletes.

Answer 10

Some people call those dumbasses that sweep ice and slide a rock across it, athletes, so I don't know. I could probably sweep ice in my sleep.
