A resting heart rate of 54 beats per minute (bpm) can be considered on the lower end of the normal range, especially for an active athlete. Generally, a normal resting heart rate for most teenagers and adults ranges from about 60 to 100 bpm. However, well-conditioned athletes often have lower resting heart rates, sometimes as low as 40 to 60 bpm, due to more efficient heart function and improved cardiovascular fitness.
If the 17-year-old boy is active, participates in regular exercise, and feels well with no symptoms (like dizziness, fatigue, or shortness of breath), a resting heart rate of 54 bpm may be perfectly normal for him. However, it’s always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional if there are any concerns about heart rate or overall health.
