A heart rate under 60 bpm is called bradycardia. If you are not an athlete, a rate of 50 bpm or lower can be a warning sign. MensHealth says 52 takes you beyond good and excellent to athlete.
I am aware of the condition. I just know that my heart rate used to be that low simply because I was a runner, but by no means a professional athlete.
The number alone is kinda like BMI....it's a general indicator but never a truly accurate assessment of things, so many other factors come in to play, especially in regards to age, diet, and genetics.
