In normal adult human, what is the rate of heartbeat per minute?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

In a normal adult human, the resting heart rate is typically defined as the number of times the heart beats per minute while the body is at rest and calm [t1][t6]. While the broad medical range for a normal resting heart rate is officially between 60 and 100 beats per minute [t1][t5][t9], the average for most healthy adults is approximately 70 to 75 beats per minute [t4]. Specifically, the average heart rate for most adults is cited as about 70 beats per minute [t4], and a healthy range for many adults falls between 55 and 85 bpm [t7][t9]. Option 2 (70-75) most accurately reflects the standard physiological average for a healthy, non-athletic adult at rest. Factors such as physical fitness, age, and emotional state can cause variations, with athletes often exhibiting lower rates [t1][t8].
