Post Exercise Heart Rate
Post Exercise heart rate is a great indicator of cardiovascular fitness. With so much confusion around formulas to find maximal heart rate, I have begun to focus on post exercise heart rates to evaluate cardiovascular fitness.
Most of the research states, that following exercise, if your heart rate drops 20-22 beats per minute this is an indicator of superior cardiovascular fitness. The slower your heart rate drops following exercise the more time you should dedicate to improving heart health!
