Blood pressure below 120 over 80

mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is

considered optimal for adults. A

systolic pressure of 121 to 139 mmHg

or a diastolic pressure of 81 to 89

mmHg is considered

"prehypertension" and needs to be

watched carefully. A blood pressure

reading of 140 over 90 or higher is

considered elevated (high).

The higher (systolic) number

represents the pressure while the

heart contracts to pump blood to the

body.

The lower (diastolic) number

represents the pressure when the

heart relaxes between beats.

And for the Heart Rate:

The average resting heartbeat rate for

41

an adult who is at rest can range

between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

For athletes who are in excellent

physical condition, an average

heartbeat rate tends to be on the lower

end of this spectrum and possible as

low as 40 beats per minute.

The heartbeat rate for newborns,

younger children, teenagers are

different, compared with adult.
