Intermittent training of swimmers shows a significant difference in heart rate. Maximum dynamic exercise significantly reduces heart rate. Therefore, it may be beneficial to incorporate intermittence training into low impact training. In addition, regular aerobic exercise, such as jogging, running or cycling, usually reduces your resting heart rate by 5 to 25 times per minute. Finally, resistance training showed an 11% decrease in resting heart rate. If possible, taking these three types of exercise can speed up and slow down your heart rate every minute of rest.
