I am a retired physician and have a question about my son.
Colleen of Mayo Connect suggested that I ask this question which is related to exercise and pulse rate.
My son is aged 45 and healthy. He exercises regularly by swimming and running on a treadmill.
The other day he visited me after exercise. He had run 2.5 kilometers in 10 minutes which is equivalent to 15 km per hour. He had maintained his pulse at 180 without symptoms.
One hour later his pulse was still 115 whereas his resting pulse is usually 60-70.
How long should it take to return to resting pulse rate after strenuous exercise?
I would appreciate your feedback.
Sincerely, Brian
