Heart Rate Response

Heart rate response refers to how your heart adjusts its beating speed in reaction to activity, stress, or other factors. When you exert effort or experience excitement, your heart speeds up to supply more oxygen-rich blood to your muscles and organs. Conversely, during rest or recovery, it slows down. This response is primarily controlled by the nervous system and reflects your cardiovascular fitness. A healthy heart rate response indicates good heart function and efficient blood flow, while an abnormal response may suggest underlying health issues needing attention.
