Approximately how many times does a normal adult heart beat per minute?

  1. 40 to 60

  2. 80 to 100

  3. 60 to 80

  4. 100 to 120

The correct answer is: 60 to 80

A normal adult heart beats approximately 60 to 100 times per minute, with the average resting heart rate typically falling between 60 and 80 beats per minute for most healthy adults. This range is considered optimal for maintaining efficient blood circulation throughout the body while at rest. Factors such as fitness level, age, and overall health can influence heart rate; well-trained athletes may have resting heart rates below 60, while higher resting rates can occur due to stress, illness, or excitement. This range reflects normal physiological conditions and is crucial for understanding cardiovascular health in practical settings, including during assessments in a barbershop environment where stress levels can vary.
