The slower heart rate isn’t as funny — it has fewer funny channels to transmit current that controls the activity of the heart cells. The results suggest a mechanism for sinus bradycardia in athletes,

The study started close to home. “I had a Ph.D. student, Will Morris,

He was telling me that his heart rate when he is race-fit is 42 beats per minute!” A normal heart beats at around 70 beats per minute at rest. A professional athlete in top condition will cut that number in half.
Many amateur athletes wear their reduced heart rates
