Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Regular exercise causes resting heart rate to ____
A
Increase
B
Decrease
C
Remain the same
D
Stop
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -From this, we can conclude that exercise-especially endurance training and yoga-decreases RHR. This effect may contribute to a reduction in all-cause mortality due to regular exercise or sports.

Detailed explanation-2: -That’s likely because exercise strengthens the heart muscle. It allows it to pump a greater amount of blood with each heartbeat. More oxygen is also going to the muscles. This means the heart beats fewer times per minute than it would in a nonathlete.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heart rate – changes within a couple of weeks Resting heart rate can decrease by up to 1 beat/min in sedentary individuals with each week of aerobic training, at least for a few weeks. Other studies have shown smaller reductions with fewer than 5 beats following up to 20 weeks of aerobic training.
