heart rate
Beats per minute
Heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute, typically measured as a pulse.
Resting heart rate for adults is usually 60–100 beats per minute.
Athletes often have lower resting rates.
Heart rate increases with exercise, stress, or illness: My heart rate spiked during the interview.
Monitoring heart rate is standard in fitness tracking and medical care.
