cardiovascular fitness of sprinters

Expert Discussion Biomechanics and Physiology

Dear Forum Members,

 Does anyone have any information regarding the level of cardiovascular fitness of sprinters? What I'm interested in are mainly resting heart rate and blood pressure values of sprinters with 100m PBs of let's say 10.50 and better.

Any such data would be highly appreciated.

Thanking you sincerely for your help,
Robin.

id assume they would be very well as tempo days are in effect interval training. my dad does only interval training and his resting beats per minute at his recent physical was 48. So my assumption would be that it would be below 60 easily for elite sprinters.
