There are three ways to measure heart performance: heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output. Heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute. Stroke volume is the volume of blood ejected from the heart with each beat. Cardiac output is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute, calculated as stroke volume multiplied by heart rate. At rest, a typical adult male has a heart rate of 70 beats per minute, stroke volume of 75 ml, and cardiac output of 5.25 L/min. During maximal exercise, cardiac output can increase to over 24 L/min for untrained individuals and 38 L/min for endurance athletes through increases in both heart rate and stroke volume.
