Study Notes
Heart Rate and Pulse
- The wrist (radial pulse) and neck (carotid pulse) are typically used to measure the heartbeat.
- The normal resting heart rate for newborns is 100-160 beats per minute (bpm).
- The normal resting heart rate for well-trained athletes is 40-60 bpm due to their high cardiovascular fitness.
- The normal resting heart rate for children over 10 and adults is 60-100 bpm.
- The pulse can be found in the human body at the wrist (radial pulse), neck (carotid pulse), groin (femoral pulse), and behind the knee (popliteal pulse).
Test your knowledge of the human pulse rate and learn about the different areas where it can be measured in this informative quiz. Discover the normal range of heartbeats and the proper technique for taking a pulse at the wrist. Challenge yourself to identify the correct pulse locations on the body, from the back of the knees to the top of the foot.
