The heart normally beats 60 to 100 times a minute in adult people! And children's hearts beat faster than adults' hearts, you know? The number of heart beats per minute is called your heart rate.
Heart rate can vary from person to person, in people of different ages, and it can even be different in people who do and people who don't. When we run, play or make some physical effort, our heart rate can increase because our heart needs to beat harder and harder to send more blood to our body, which is doing the exercise!
We can count how many times our heart beats per minute and thus discover our heart rate. But how? In some places in our body, we can feel the heartbeat through the pulsation of the arteries, those vessels that carry blood from the heart to other parts of the body. We can put our index finger and the biggest one on our fist, feel the pulse and count! It's not hard, you can try!
