Well thanks, that is certainly reassuring - I don't feel that fit though, really. I mean I can get round a football pitch fine, but it's not as if I have the frame of an athlete, haha. For example, we did a bleep test in summer and I only made it to like half way through level 7. My 5k running time is usually between 26-27 mins. So probably only a little better than average fitness. Of course the heart rate app may not be wholly accurate.Normal resting heart rate is anywhere between 60-100, then obviously the fitter you get the better (lower) your resting heart rate becomes. So 46 is pretty good mate and shows that the football you play is obviously having a postive effect.
Whereas your max working heart rate should be 220 - your age, workout that calculation and you get a good idea of how hard to push yourself when exercising though heart rate is only 1 of the significant factors in fitness the other is Vo2 max and that's while lot more complex to calculate.
Often test mine as part of my work and as of last week my resting heart rate is 41.
