Health App error?

within the heart rate:recovery part of the heath app it showed heartbeat going down from 165 to 114mins in the 3 minute period after my exercise.


It stated that 'in the 3 minutes after your last run, your heart rate went down by 51 beats per minute.'


This appears incorrect as it went down 51 beats in 3 minutes not 51 beats per minute


Anyone else had this issue?

If we look at the screenshot, my heartbeat went from 166 to 115 which is a drop of around 50 beats (51 beats actually) in 3 minutes. This is not the same as 50 beats in per minute as apple is saying.


In other words, if this was the standard used by hospitals, i think they'd be killing off patients!


Is this an error in apples software?
