Heart rate

**Heart rate** refers to the number of times your heart beats per minute. It is a key indicator of your cardiovascular health and fitness level. Monitoring your heart rate can help you understand how your body responds to physical activity, stress, and overall health conditions. Commonly measured using devices like heart rate monitors, fitness trackers, or manually by checking your pulse, heart rate is an essential metric for athletes, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
