Story summary
  • A new Australian study finds fitter individuals use fewer daily heartbeats than sedentary people.
  • Athletes average 68 bpm; non-athletes average 76 bpm, about 97,920 vs 109,440 daily heartbeats.
  • That difference equals roughly 11,500 fewer daily heartbeats for fit individuals, signaling better health.
  • Regular moderate exercise improves heart efficiency and may extend lifespan; extreme endurance can raise rate briefly.
