The normal range of pulse and heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute, and pulse and heart rate are equivalent. However, pulse and heart rate are affected by many factors such as the normal rhythm of the body’s biological clock, age, gender, etc. For example, in people of the same age, men’s pulse and heart rate are slower than women’s, and older people’s pulse and heart rate are slower than those of younger people. Pulse and heart rate are slower when a person is resting or lying down, such as during sleep or in the morning, and faster around 13-17 pm. The pulse and heart rate may also be slightly faster during exercise when the body temperature is elevated or during emotional stress.
