How much does a person's heart rate reach while running

The heart rate during running can generally reach 120-180 beats per minute, and the specific value is affected by factors such as age, exercise intensity, and physical fitness level.

Increased heart rate during running is a normal physiological response, as the heart delivers more oxygen and energy to muscles by increasing the number of beats. Healthy adults typically maintain their heart rate within the range of 60% -80% of their maximum heart rate during moderate intensity running. The maximum heart rate can be estimated by subtracting age from 220, for example, the maximum heart rate of a 30-year-old population is about 190 beats per minute. During continuous aerobic running, the heart rate will stabilize within an appropriate range; Sprint or high-intensity interval running may cause the heart rate to briefly approach its maximum value.

Abnormal heartbeat may occur in some special circumstances. When people who have not exercised suddenly run vigorously, their heart rate may exceed the safe range, causing palpitations or chest tightness. People with cardiovascular disease may experience abnormally high or irregular heart rate during running, and they need to develop exercise plans under the guidance of a doctor. professional athletes who have undergone long-term overtraining may have a lower resting heart rate than the average person, but they can still efficiently increase it to a higher level during exercise.

It is recommended to use a heart rate monitoring device to monitor changes in heart rate while running and choose a speed that is suitable for your body's energy. Novice runners can control their heart rate by alternating running and walking, gradually increasing their exercise duration each week. Warm up and stretch before and after running, and avoid exercising immediately on an empty stomach or after a full meal. If discomfort symptoms such as dizziness and chest pain occur, exercise should be stopped immediately and medical examination should be sought promptly.
