Charismatic, irrepressible and engaging, Mr. Barry always seemed to get up again. In 1977, while on the council, he was shot during the siege of the District Building (now the John A. Wilson Building) by Hanafi Muslims, who also had taken over the Islamic Center and Bânai Bârith offices. Mr. Barryâs wound was superficial, but it nevertheless enhanced his mystique.
Most peopleâs resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 bpm but the hearts of professional athletes beat around 40 times per minute. The researchers found that the risk of dying from any illness or health condition raises by around nine per cent for every 10 bpm over.
What should your heart rate be? It used to be thought that a normal resting heart rate is somewhere between 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). Many experts now believe that 60-80bpm is a more healthy level. However some people naturally have a lower or more rapid pulse. Your heart rate can alter as you get older as well and it can also indicate a change to your health. If your resting rate is consistently below 40bpm or above 120bmp, you should see your GP to check if thatâs normal for you.
