How often does the heart beat?

Our hearts beat faster while running to create more nutrients and oxygen for our cells
When we are sitting quietly, our heart might beat about 70 times a minute. But when we are moving about, our cells need more oxygen and nutrients, so the heart beats faster. If you run fast, your heart may beat more than 150 times a minute.
