btw the lao heroes in sinkieland always die like this. They cannot take viagra, must do ironman and other shit
 
It's a perfect life. Go hard, challenge yourself, push the limits and then drop dead.

Better than collecting cardboard at 90.
So what are you trying to tell me? I am in my 80s, collecting cardboard for a living. You're saying it's not an enjoyable and a fulfilling undertaking? I beg to differ! It is good exercise for me, in addition to being a great income generator.

SLOW HEART RATE RECOVERY FOLLOWING EXERCISE ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF DEATH, PUBLISHED STUDY SUGGESTS

Mortality higher for decreases of less than 12 beats per minute

A simple and often overlooked measurement taken during routine exercise testing is a powerful predictor of mortality, even more powerful than expensive, nuclear-based imaging tests, cardiologists at the Cleveland Clinic have found. That was the key finding of a study published in the Oct. 28 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Physicians routinely obtain the measurement, known as "heart rate recovery," during exercise testing. "One simply subtracts the heart rate one minute after a patient finishes exercising from the heart rate at peak exercise," said Michael S. Lauer, M.D., director of the Cleveland Clinic exercise laboratory and the senior investigator of the study.

The investigators looked at 2,428 adults who had undergone standard exercise testing as part of their clinical care at the Cleveland Clinic. Patients' heart rates were measured before, during, and one minute after exercise, and the patients themselves were followed for six years to see how many died in the interim.

"In most cases, heart rate falls about 15 to 25 beats per minute after a person exercises to exhaustion and then stops," said Dr. Lauer. "But we found that 25 percent of patients in the study had a heart recovery rate of less than 12 beats per minute. That is, their heart rate had failed to fall by at least 12 beats per minute during the first minute after exercise. Of these patients, 19 percent died during the six-year follow-up. In contrast, among those who had a normal heart rate recovery, only 5 percent died, a death rate of less than 1 percent per year."

Dr. Lauer called heart rate recovery "an extraordinarily powerful predictor of risk." In fact, it proved to be a more reliable predictor of mortality than blood flow abnormalities noted on nuclear scans and electrocardiographic changes (a prime focus of most physicians). It was also equally as powerful as overall physical fitness.

Physicians often send patients for exercise testing to predict the risk of heart attacks and death. Those deemed to be at high risk may then be sent for more aggressive therapies, such as bypass surgery of angioplasty, or may be placed on a regimen of powerful medications. "The value of a simple measure like heart rate recovery is that doctors can quickly and easily identify people who are at low risk for these problems," Dr. Lauer said. "It makes no sense to send a patient for potentially risky procedures when you already know that their risk for dying is less than 1% per year."

There remains a number of unanswered questions related to this research, such as why heart rate recovery is such a powerful predictor of death and what can be done to reduce these patients' risk of dying. "We believe this finding reflects intrinsic abnormalities of the nervous system, which we already know are tied to death risk, though the precise mechanisms are not well known," said Dr. Lauer. He suggested that possible remedies for abnormal heart rate recovery might include exercise training, smoking cessation, and certain types of drugs such as beta-blockers. Still, he said, "much research will be needed."

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, founded in 1921, integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education in a private, non-profit group practice. At the Cleveland Clinic and Cleveland Clinic Florida in 1998, nearly 1,000 full-time salaried physicians representing more than 100 medical specialities and subspecialties provided for 1,735,484 outpatient visits and 49,893 hospital admissions for patients from throughout the United States and more than 80 countries. In 1997, The Cleveland Clinic Health System was formed. It now comprises The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Euclid, Fairview, Hillcrest, Huron, Lakewood, Lutheran, Marymount and South Pointe hospitals, and the Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital for Rehabilitation. With 3,010 staffed beds, the Cleveland Clinic Health System offers broad geographic coverage, a full continuum of care, improved quality and lower cost of care to Northeast Ohio residents.

usually i do a sprint at the end 5 to 10 mins bringing my heart rate to max around 150 to 160
after a minute or two, from cessation, my heart rate drops to 110+ to 120+

do take your heart rate seriously
there are so many good exercise watches around from Apple watch to samsung watches and lots of others too

heart rate recovery and risk of sudden death after exercise
if it drops less than 15 beats per min, you are most likely in danger zone
