Is a resting heart rate of 48 beats per minute normal?

A resting heart rate of 48 beats per minute is normal for certain special groups of people, including people who have been involved in sports for a long time, professional athletes or people who have been involved in a lot of physical activity for a long time, and these people will have a relatively slow resting heart rate. The normal heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute, but for people who have been engaged in sports for a long time or for the elderly, a slow heart rate at rest, at 48 beats per minute, is normal. However, for young people who do not engage in long-term sports, a heart rate of 48 beats per minute at rest for a long period of time is not normal and usually requires examination of the endocrine system and circulatory system to see if there is a disease such as hypothyroidism.
