Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pulse & Heart Rate. Your heart rate is the number of times each minute that your heart beats, which is normally between 60 and 100 times per minute for adults.

Detailed explanation-2: -A normal heart rate, when you’re not being active, is generally between 60 – 100 beats per minute. This is called your resting heart rate. Athletes or people who are very fit may have resting heart beats of less than 60 bpm. When you’re active, your heart beats faster to get more oxygen to your working muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Frequency means number of events in a given time period. Hence frequency of heart beat is 72 per minute.

Detailed explanation-4: -The power of heart which beats 72 times in a minute is 1.2 kW.

Detailed explanation-5: -Normally the heart beats 60 to 100 times per minute. The rate may drop below 60 beats per minute in people who exercise routinely or take medicines that slow the heart. If your heart rate is fast (over 100 beats per minute), this is called tachycardia. A heart rate slower than 60 is called bradycardia.
