In active healthy adults with excellent cardiovascular health it is not unusual for the resting heart rate to be in the range of 50-60. With exercise the rate of increase of the heart rate can indicate your cardiac fitness and ability to adapt with vigorous exercise. The testing mentioned as being negative is reassuring and supports the information mentioned above.
