		The pulse is measured at the wrist, neck, temple, groin, behind the knees, or on top of the foot.
		Resting heart rates that are consistently high (tachycardia) may indicate a problem, and you should consult a health care provider.
		Also, discuss a pulse that is very firm (bounding pulse) and that lasts for more than a few minutes with the health care provider.

	Your pulse rate
		The maximum pulse rate is 220 minus your age, and the target for a healthy pulse rate during, or just after, exercise, is 60-80 per cent of this.
		However, the target rates given are only guidelines, as your pulse rate may be affected by other factors such as medication, pacemakers or certain forms of heart disease.
		I had a low pulse at 49 and 52 bpm; I had an ecg and the cardiologist said the pulse was fine because of the positive ecg result.

	Pulse Rate Experiments htm
		Under these circumstances, your pulse rate is a good indicator of the rate at which you are metabolizing oxygen as you deplete your body's glucose reserves.
		Since your physiological responses are complex, the relationship between the rate of oxygen metabolism and your pulse rate is not perfectly linear, but overall the relationship tends to be reasonably close to linear.
		Estimate the pulse rates you would expect if the subject pulled the weight 400 meters at a constant velocity, covering the distance in 10 minutes, in 9 minutes, in 8 minutes, in 7 minutes, in 6 minutes, in 5 minutes, in 4 minutes and in 3 minutes.

	Pulse Measurement
		Pulse rate measurements are often done by a health professional as part of a physical examination or in an emergency, but you can easily learn to measure your own pulse rate as well.
		The pulse rate is measured by counting the beats in a set period of time (at least 15 to 20 seconds) and multiplying that number to get the number of beats per minute.
		A weak or absent pulse in a leg may be a sign of significant blood vessel disease in the leg (peripheral arterial disease).

		The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute.
		The pulse can be found on the side of the lower neck, on the inside of the elbow, or at the wrist.
		The rate is usually measured when a person is at rest and simply involves counting the number of breaths for one minute by counting how many times the chest rises.

	Normal pulse rate for a dog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The normal pulse rate for your dog is between 60-120 beats per minute.
		To take his pulse, locate the femoral artery, which feels like a round tube in the center area at the base of the thigh, place your fingers, lightly, along the inside of the thigh.
		To arrive at the beats per minute, count the pulse beats for 15 seconds and multiply that number by 4.

	Team Oregon Tip
		To be able to use your pulse rate as an indicator of how hard you are working, it is important to know both your resting and maximum pulse rates.
		Resting pulse rate is an indicator of stroke volume which is the amount of blood pumped by each beat of the heart.
		If you are not being affected by temperature and your pulse rate is much different from your perceived exertion, it is our opinion that you are better off to use the pulse rate monitor and err on the side of conservatism.

	NEMA - Health Care - Heart Rate or Pulse
		Knowing how to measure your heart rate or pulse, can help you to learn about your own degree of fitness and can help to detect potential medical problems that should be brought to the attention of your physician.
		You can measure your heart rate by feeling your pulse - the rhythmic expansion and contraction (or throbbing) of an artery as blood is forced through it by the regular contractions of the heart.

	Your Pulse and Your Target Heart Rate
		Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one minute.
		Your pulse is lower when you are at rest and increases when you exercise (because more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body when you exercise).
		Usually this is when your exercise heart rate (pulse) is 60 percent to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate.

	Heart rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pulse is the most straightforward way of measuring the heart rate, but it can be deceptive when some heart beats do not have much cardiac output.
		The pulse rate (which in most people is identical to the heart rate) can be measured at any point on the body where an artery is close to the surface.
		Target heart rate (THR), or training heart rate, is a desired range of heart rate reached during aerobic exercise which enables one's heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout.

	Pulse Rate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		All biological systems in our body pulse - our hearts, our lymphatic fluid, our cranial fluid, our heart and lungs etc. The adjustable pulse rate range of the Aura-Glo (2-20) is designed to actively reinforce our physiological processes.
		These rates are not indicated by numbers around the dial and are approximate.
		Start with the dial set about midway between the lowest pulse rate and the highest pulse rate - this would be approximately 9-10 pulses per second.

		After locating the radial pulse, begin your count with "zero" on the starting time mark; then count the pulses for the desired time length.
