help please, nine year old little girl heart rate after exercising for a minute?

Please add more details, such as if she has a heart condition, if she is overweight, and the kind of exercise she did and why she did it.

If she is of average health and weight for a nine year old, then you don't have anything to worry about, and the same goes (in my opinion) for healthy/in very good shape adults, the kind of activity that might endanger the heart would have to be so extreme that every other part of the body would be in danger as well, such as the throwing out of the back if lifting heavy weights, or joint and ligaments damage or muscle tearing.

Remember, the reason people watch their heart rates, weight and age when doing physicals activities, is because they are not in good physical condition, which is usually brought on by bad (or at least less then ideal) nutritional and exercise habits and life styles. Having to do so is not normal, biologically speaking. However it is nonetheless very common.

And then there is the exercise, if she is using an exercise machine, I would disagree on that, in fact I would disagree on that for most people, why? For a few reasons, one is because you are usually cooped up inside, if you got to the gym you have to pay and most of the machines simulate a normal activity you can do for free, outside, like the bicycle, or the treadmill, or those that simulate climbing stairs. That is not to say that there aren't good point's to machines, for example, if, due to your health condition you must monitor your pulse, many machines will do that, though you can also find portable/personal heart rate monitors for you when you go jogging. Machines are also good for weight training, or that is to say pulling weights to increase muscle mass, muscles which will in turn burn fat and eat up calories, the advantage of that kind of machine is that they target particular muscles, however, if you familiarize yourself with your body, and study which muscle does what, then you can work those yourself without complicated machines.

In my opinion the best kind of exercise for a child AND adult, is going crazy at the playground, for the playground is a free gym, and is a great way to exercise, weather it be running around while playing a game of tag, improvised soccer, swimming in the lake, or swinging the monkey bars, the kind of exercise opportunities are endless, and best of all it's FUN, free, and you can't go beyond your physical limit because it's not fun any more, which makes you stop, rest, eat a snack, or do some other activity.

Try getting a group of your daughter's friends and their parents to setup a day at the parks, the more the merrier, and you can ask the kids to vote for which park they would like to go to the next time. If you're afraid she's going to get her clothes grass stained (which is likely) get her to wear clothes which are nice but that no one cares if they get stained, second hand stores are great for this, unless you happen to fall on something really nice at the second hand store (which is also likely). Grass stains also show less on green clothing.

Clothes shouldn't stop kids from having fun when they're allowed to do so.

And also try to get the parents involved in the fun too, the parents probably need it more then the kids anyway. ( ;

If she does have heart problems or health issues, you should contact someone who can give you professional insight.

Wishing you and your family the best of health.

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Her maximum heart rate should be around 210 + or - 5 BPM.

Moderate exercise should be close to 185 + or - 5 BPM.

Childrens' heart rates are usually much higher than the adults heart rate so it's not unusual for a child to have a resting heart rate above 90.

Check with your pediatrician to find out what the norms are for your child's height and weight as well.

For a kid that age, resting rate is probably 70-80, maximum probably int the low 200's.

I don't think you can make any judgments about fitness based on some exercise that only lasts a minute.

FWIW, I'm in my 50's, and getting to my maximum (185) would involve a 10-15 minute warmup, and a 1-2 mile run, obviously ramping up to maximum effort.

I know there's a math equation that can help you determine what an ideal heart rate is for an 8 year old. This site gives you the equation.
