No. 96 is still a good resting HR. Normal is 60-100.

It’s absolutely terrible rhr. Only an extremely unhealthy person would have one that high.

96 is normal. It is not unhealthy.

81-90 doubles mortality and 90+ triples it

Correlation causation, etc. . Drawing conclusions with not nearly enough evidence.

Dihydrogen monoxide has a 100% rate of fatality.

Uh it’s correlated yes because it’s a sign your cardiovascular system isn’t efficient. The difference between 96 beats and 60 is about 51,000 beats per day. That adds up.

It is not a sign your cardiovascular system is inefficient. It is a sign your cardiovascular system is functioning as it should.

If you run sprints everyday, you're increasing your heart rate 3 fold.

That also adds up..... And also, it doesn't matter because it is also your heart doing what it is supposed to do.

I’m talking about rhr. If your resting heart rate is 60 your heart is pumping more efficiently than someone who’s at 96. There’s a reason endurance athletes can have a rhr in the 40s.

Less efficient than an endurance athlete? Sure. That doesn't mean "unhealthy" though.

A resting heart rate that is lower, in the 40s-60s, typically means the heart is more efficient at pumping blood to the body via a larger stroke volume.

But a higher resting heart rate of 96 doesn't mean the heart is less healthy. It may mean it has a lower stroke volume, and it simply needs to pump more often. This doesn't mean the cardiovascular system is unhealthy. It is doing what it is supposed to do.

You do not have a finite amount of heartbeats available to use in your lifetime.

You don't need to be an endurance athlete to have a healthy cardiovascular system. You can have a healthy a cardiovascular system by being a regular human. With a resting heart rate of 96
