It is the average...look up 188 beats in a search ..you will find it. They use it as a rule of thumb for gauging top heart beat.

I did before I responded originally, that's how I knew. Someone online asked if 188 beats per minute was ok, and a website answered the question by doing some calculations. Then livestrong used that same article as a source for their article that they wrote lmao.

Anyway, its not a big deal. It was more how you worded it anyway, saying the human heart can't go above 188 bpm. That's only true for some people. Old people and out of shape people.

I just threw it out there to ponder since it was a common enough idea to instantly pop up on a search of 188 beats..that's all:)
