A member asked:
Why do trained athletes have resting pulses around 40-60 beats per minute?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conditioning: As the heart muscle is conditioned to athletic endeavors, it often gets both bigger and stronger. Since the output of the heart is a function of the volume of blood pumped /min, if the heart pumps more with each beat, ot doesn't have to go as fast.
