As someone who has seen elite athletes in hospitals: really solid, their heart rate is so low it'd be bradycardic in a normal person.

- djmips 3y agoI remember being like that, even wondered if something was wrong with me - no longer - I stopped training like I used to and now my heart rate is average / high.

- FeteCommuniste 3y agoIt doesn't seem like your link supports your assertion. It says: "In fact, there is a large body of research supporting that the population that perform the highest levels of physical activity (i.e. elite athletes) seem to present a lower risk of CV diseases and mortality. Specifically, a meta-analysis including 42087 elite athletes reported a 27% lower risk of mortality associated to CV diseases in comparison with the general population (Garatachea et al., 2014). Furthermore, an epidemiological study that analyzed 15174 Olympic medalists found that these subjects lived a mean of 2.8 years more than the average population, independently of the country or the type of sport performed (Clarke et al., 2012)."
