Calculate Pulse Rate

Your pulse rate, also known as your heart rate, is the number of times your heart beats per minute (BPM). It's a vital sign that indicates how well your cardiovascular system is functioning. Monitoring your pulse can help you understand your resting heart rate, assess your fitness level, and track your response to exercise. A normal resting heart rate for adults typically ranges from 60 to 100 BPM.

Factors that can affect your pulse rate include age, fitness level, body temperature, medications, stress, and physical activity. For example, a highly trained athlete might have a resting heart rate below 60 BPM, while someone who is ill or under stress might have a higher rate.
