Re: Re: Dive response, can it be improved by training?
Resting HR is about 55 right now. I don't remember it ever being much under that, even when I was in much better cardio shape (competitive kickboxing and swimming). My EKG is normal and after exertion HR drops back down quickly. When in my late teens as a competitive swimmer I was training intensely about 15 hours a week. My resting HR (high fifties at the time) was higher than most of the others on the team and during a hard set it would go well above what my maximum (as given by 220-age) was 'supposed' to be. I would be obviously winded, etc, but not feeling in cardiac jeopardy or anything like that.
DR heart rate is typically 30's or 40's.
