Heart Rate Variations of MotoGP Riders

When someone is racing a motorcycle to speeds of up to 100 km/h it's very normal for the heart rate to be very fast. However, MotoGP riders have proven to have qualities above the average human. MotoGP riders' heart rates can jump dramatically more than normal humans when racing their bikes at high speeds, and some are even normal.

As quoted from GridOto.com, shen racing, a MotoGP rider's heart rate will spike to as high as 160 to 170 bpm per minute.

While the average normal person with regular activity, his heart rate only ranges from 60 to 100 bpm (beats per minute).

A figure of 160-170 bpm is similar to someone who is exercising heavily, which is why MotoGP in this era is undoubtedly one of the physical sports.

Although it's not running like a normal physical exercise, the tension and action of the racers is enough to get the heart rate up.

Already that high, it turns out that there are also numbers that far exceed the average MotoGP rider, even the average athlete in general, which reaches 200 bpm.

It is Pramac Racing team rider Jorge Martin whose heart rate often reaches 200 bpm during races.

However, there are also riders whose heart rate is very low and far from the average of other riders.

That rider is Maverick Vinales, whose average heart rate is only around 100-120 bpm when racing his bike and occasionally touches 130 bpm.

Whatever the situation, Vinales' heart rate rarely exceeds 130 bpm when other riders are over 160 bpm.

Jack Miller even once called Vinales like a snake, because his heart remains "low profile" despite going very fast on the track.

But beyond that, what's remarkable is the strength of the riders' hearts to withstand such high loads.

Like any other athlete, racers must also do physical exercises to strengthen their heart.

In addition to strengthening muscle mass, riders should do breathing exercises to train heart strength.

Cycling is one of the most popular exercises for MotoGP riders, as it has the potential to raise the heart rate relatively higher than physical exercises in the gym.
