Fitter hearts beat less: How exercise may add years to life
Summary
Regular exercise enhances heart efficiency, potentially extending lifespan. Australian research suggests that fitter individuals have lower resting heart rates, resulting in fewer heartbeats per day. For instance, athletes average 68 beats per minute, totaling 97,920 beats daily, compared to 76 beats per minute and 109,440 beats in non-athletes. This efficiency suggests that exercise doesn't deplete the heart's energy but optimizes its function. Professor La Gerche emphasizes that even intense workouts are outweighed by the benefits of a lower resting heart rate. Thus, consistent physical activity can improve heart health and longevity.
