Definitions Blood pressure - ‘The of force at which the blood passes through the blood vessels.' Heart rate - 'The number of times the heart beats per minute' Stroke volume - ‘The amount of blood pumped out of the heart during one contraction' Cardiac output - ‘The amount of blood ejected from the heart in one minute'

Resting heart rate The average heart rate when we are at rest is BPM Your resting heart rate can be a sign of fitness. People with high cardiovascular fitness have lower resting heart rates as the body is more efficient at transporting the blood around the body.

Systolic/Diastolic Systolic – The pressure of the blood when the heart contracts Diastolic- The pressure of the blood when the heart relaxes Systolic/Diastolic B34
