Formula
How the calculation works
The calculator reads the resting heart rate you measured during or just after sleep and compares it with age and sex bands.
It subtracts the current rate from the previous one so a positive change means your resting rate has fallen.
A resting rate of 58 beats a minute in a man of 30 sits in the very good band, and a drop from 62 is a 4 beat improvement.
Common mistakes
- Measuring the resting rate after moving around instead of at rest gives a higher reading and a worse band than reality.
- A single reading proves little, so judge the trend across several days rather than reacting to one number.
When to use it
- Use it to follow your resting heart rate trend over weeks as a simple sign of improving fitness.
- Use it to notice a rising resting rate early, which can warn of stress, poor sleep or illness.
Worked example
For a man of 30 with a resting rate of 58 beats a minute, down from 62, the band is very good and the improvement is 4 beats a minute.
Common questions
What resting heart rate is considered normal?
For most healthy adults a resting heart rate between 60 and 100 beats a minute is normal, while trained athletes often sit between 40 and 60.
