The benefits of a strong and healthy sports heart

1. If you regularly and intensively participate in endurance sports, for example cycling or running, your heart will gradually adapt to this effort by getting stronger and bigger. You then slowly but surely develop a sports heart, also known as an athlete's heart. Which also means that the number of heart beats per minute at rest will decrease. Is that a positive or negative phenomenon?

Longer life due to lower resting heart rate?

1. If it is true that every human being is assigned a certain number of heartbeats in life, you are fine if your heart beats, for example, about 50-60 beats at rest. The total time you exercise in your life with a fast pulse will probably be nothing compared to the hours that your body is at rest with a slower ticking heart. Nice to calculate. But then only take the years that you are an active athlete.
