Whether the instantaneous heart rate of 160~180 beats/min is normal during running depends on the age of the runner. 160~180 beats/min is normal for young people while 160~180 beats/min may induce myocardial ischemia and lead to serious consequences for the elderly.
When running, the body’s oxygen consumption increases, and the heart rate will increase accordingly to meet the body’s oxygen demand. If usually less exercise, poor cardiopulmonary function or obesity, etc., the heart rate will be significantly higher when running, instantaneous heart rate of 160 ~ 180 beats / min, if there is no obvious discomfort, no need to deal with.
Older people have poorer cardiopulmonary function, and most of them are accompanied by high blood fat, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and other basic diseases, if the heart rate reaches 160~180 beats/min after running, the heart is overloaded, which may cause myocardial ischemia, resulting in serious consequences.
If there is any physical discomfort during running, stop exercising immediately and go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid serious consequences.
