 | Dakar 2010 TICKER: Background-Stories - Number of the day
|
The maximum pulse rate of Nasser Al-Attiyah on the third leg of the Dakar Rally was 218 heartbeats. During the 182-kilometre special stage measurements of the driver from Qatar showed that 91 per cent of the time his heart was beating at rates between 120 and 160 per minute. For comparison: a professional footballer has a maximum pulse rate of 180 during a 90-minute match, and an average rate between 100 and 120. The heart rate is comprised of endurance pulse and - particularly in motorsport - stress-induced pulse.
