What is the average resting heart rate?

The average resting heart rate (RHR) for adults is 60–100 beats per minute (bpm), with the population mean around 70 bpm. Women tend to have slightly higher RHRs than men on average. Athletes and very fit individuals often have RHRs in the 40–60 bpm range due to the heart's increased stroke volume.
