  Beats per minute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beats per minute (bpm) is a unit typically used as either a measure of tempo in music, or a measure of one's heart rate.
Beats per minute became common terminology in popular music during the disco era because of its usefulness to DJs, and remain important in dance music.
BPM can be calculated by hand (count the number of downbeats/bass drums per 60 seconds, or - to be fast - per 15 seconds and multiply by 4), but some software programs such as MixMeister, Traktor-DJ and PC-DJ can do it automatically.

 Tempo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This means that a particular note value (for example, a quarter note or crotchet) is specified as the beat, and the marking indicates that a certain number of these beats must be played per minute.
Mathematical tempo markings of this kind became increasingly popular during the first half of the 19th century, after the metronome had been invented, although early metronomes were somewhat unreliable; Beethoven's metronome markings, in particular, are notoriously unreliable.
Most musicians would agree that it is not possible to give beats per minute (BPM) equivalents for these terms; the actual number of beats per minute in a piece marked allegro, for example, will depend on the music itself.

The frequency is defined as the number of cycles per second, although the medical profession tends to report pulses rates in beats per minute rather than beats per second.
A typical value is about 60 or 70 beats per minute, which you could measure by counting the number of pulses at your wrist for one minute.
Thus 60 beats per minute is 1 beat per second or a frequency of 1 Hz; 70 beats per minute would be a frequency of 70/60 or about 1.167 Hz.

 Bradycardia
For example, the 24 hour EKG Holter recording of an asymptomatic 18 year old male athlete shows a slow heart rate of 30 per minute, while he was sleeping (the parasympathetic nerve was stimulated to cause the heart rate slowing with one junctional slowing escape beat).
Nocturnal rates are slower, decreasing during sleep by an average of 24 beats per minute in young adults and by 14 beats in those over 80 years of age.
Episodes of sinus bradycardia with heart rates as low as 30 beats per minute, which cause no symptoms, are to be considered with in the normal range.

In this case the quarter-note (crotchet) speed is 120 beats per minute.
An exception is waltz notation, which uses 3 quarter-notes (crotchets) per bar; the metronome speed is given in quarter-note (crotchet) beats.
Don't forget that if you are timing, say, 32 beats you should start your watch on the beat of one and stop it on the beat of thirty-three (not thirty-two) to allow for the full time period for 32 beats.

This is counted in Measures Per Minute (mpm) or in Beats Per Minute (bpm).
Start the stopwatch on the first beat of a measure and count to 40 beats (that is, stop timing on the start of the 41st beat).
If counting to forty is too much for you, count eleven beats (that is, a ten-beat gap), and divide this time into 600, i.e., 4.61 seconds gives 600/4.61=130 bpm.

 HEART RATE - Beats of the heart per minute
To determine the quantity of blood your heart pumps per heart beat or stroke volume, divide 6 liters/min by your resting heart rate in beats/min.
Blood pressure is the force per unit area exerted on the wall of a blood vessel by the blood.
Blood pressure is governed by five elements: the strength of the heart beat, the volume of blood, the viscosity of the blood, the resistance of the arterioles and the elasticity of the arterial walls.
