Habits of the Heart


The next step

understanding recovery rates

The amount of time the heart takes to return to a normal at-rest rate after exercise is called recovery time. This is a measure of the body's general fitness. The shorter the recovery time, the higher the level of fitness. ( source Habits of a Healthy Heart )

from 9-11 section  Powerpoint 2  slide 4

The Zone explains 

'recovery rate  which is measured here in beats per minute (bpm). Ask the students what they notice about the recovery rates of the people ... They should notice that the people who do the most strenuous exercise on a regular basis (i.e. the marathon runner and the swimmer) have higher recovery rates than those who do only light exercise (the dog walker and the boy who cycles to school), which means that their heart rate slows down more in the first minute after exercise.'
