Ficha 12 - Pulse Rate

This document discusses heart rate and pulse rate. It provides information on how to check your pulse and calculate your heart rate and maximum heart rate. It also introduces the Ruffier-Dickson test, which measures aerobic endurance and cardiac recovery after a short duration exercise through a formula using pre-exercise, post-exercise, and 1-minute post-exercise pulse rates. The test result index provides an evaluation of one's physical fitness level.

Your heart rate refers to how many times your
heart contracts and relaxes per minute - how
Pulse rate many beats there are per minute.

Your pulse can give your doctor important information about your health. If your
heart rate is normal, that doesn't say very much, but if it is not normal you may
have a problem.

A fast resting pulse can mean that you are dehydrated or have an infection. A slow
resting pulse can mean that your heart is very strong and healthy. How quickly your
heart rate returns to normal after exercise gives information about your fitness.

Finding and Checking Your Pulse


Use your fingers when finding a pulse. Don't
use your thumb when finding it, as it has its own pulse.
1.
Find the radial pulse. This is also known as
the pulse on the inside of the wrist. Use the pads of two
fingers. Place these just below the wrist creases at the
base of the thumb. Press lightly until you feel a pulse
(blood pulsing under your fingers). If necessary, move
fingers around until you feel the pulse.
2.
Find the carotid pulse. To feel a pulse on
the side of the neck, place two fingers, preferably your
index and middle finger, in the hollow between the
windpipe and the large muscle in the neck. Press lightly
until you feel a pulse.

Check and record your heart rate.


Use a watch or clock with a second hand.
Make a note of the rate of the pulse, which is the
number of beats per minute.

Your pulse is: (beats in 15 seconds) x 4


You can count beats for 30 seconds and
multiply by 2.

For children under age 18, normal heart rate is


70-100 beats per minute.
This is your heart rate when you are at rest.

The easiest and best known method to calculate your Anota tus HR max
maximum heart rate (HRmax) is to use the formula

HRmax = 220 - Age

People's heart rates vary considerably, depending on what they are doing, their levels
of fitness and their age.

There is a technical difference between heart rate and pulse, although they both
should come up with the same number:

Heart rate - how many times the heart beats in a unit of time, nearly always per
minute.
Pulse (pulse rate) - rhythmic dilation of an artery, produced by the increased
volume of blood thrown into the vessel by the contraction of the heart

Recuerda: la frecuencia cardíaca es el número de veces que late nuestro


corazón (por ejemplo en un minuto) y el pulso es la dilatación rítmica de una arteria.

Test Ruffier-Dickson
El Test de Ruffier es una prueba que se realiza para medir la resistencia aeróbica al esfuerzo de corta duración y
la capacidad de recuperación cardíaca, y por tanto el nivel de forma física de un persona.
Es un test basado en una fórmula que sirve para obtener un coeficiente que nos da una valoración acerca de
nuestro estado de forma. Dicho coeficiente se obtiene mediante la realización de 30 flexiones de piernas de un
tiempo de 45 segundos.

I = ((P0 + P1 + P2) - 200) / 10


P0 = Pulsaciones por minuto en reposo Anota tus pulsaciones
P1 = Pulsaciones por minuto después del ejercicio
P2 = Pulsaciones por minuto después de un minuto de recuperación

Ficha 12 - página 2

Si I = 0 rendimiento cardiovascular: excelente (propio de atletas). Tu resultado


Si I = entre 1 y 5: bueno.
Si I = entre 6 y 10: medio
Si I = entre 11 y 15:insuficiente.
Si I = más de 15: malo (requiere evaluación médica).
