What is the normal running heart rate for a person

The normal running heart rate for adults is generally between 120-160 beats per minute, and the specific value is influenced by factors such as age, physical fitness level, and exercise intensity. The change in heart rate during running is an important indicator for evaluating exercise intensity. 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 person is about 190 beats per minute. continuously maintaining a heart rate within this range can help enhance cardiovascular function, promote fat burning, and avoid the risks associated with excessive exercise. Wearing a heart rate monitoring device while running can provide real-time monitoring of heart rate data, allowing for timely adjustment of pace and breathing rhythm.

In some special cases, the heart rate may exceed the normal range. People who lack exercise for a long time are prone to a rapid increase in heart rate to over 160 beats per minute when starting to run, which is a normal response during the body's adaptation stage. People with cardiovascular disease or taking specific medications may experience insufficient or abnormal fluctuations in heart rate. High temperature and humidity environments, as well as dehydration, can also lead to a significant increase in heart rate. If you experience discomfort such as chest tightness and dizziness while running, you should immediately stop exercising and seek medical examination.

It is recommended to warm up thoroughly before running, gradually increase the intensity of exercise, and avoid sudden intense exercise that can cause a sudden increase in heart rate. Pay attention to replenishing moisture during running and choose breathable and comfortable clothing and running shoes. Regularly undergo physical examinations to understand one's cardiovascular health status and develop personalized exercise plans. After running, do a good job of stretching and relaxing to help the heart rate smoothly fall back to the resting level.
