What’s the difference between actual pulse rate and calculated pulse rate?

Like for eg : if someone runs a 100 m,their pulse rate after 15 secs is 39 and their actual rate at 60 seconds is 149. The calculated rate is 39 x 4 = 156.Why is the actual and calculated rate different?.

The calculated rate is what is assumed to happen but why is the actual rate of the pulse different,i kinda get it but cannot explain,help!

Well the calculated pulse is not accurate as you have only measured it fo 15 seconds.
then multiplied it by four.

Now as pulse is measured in BPM ( Beats Per Minute)

The accurate way is to actually time it for a minute and you will have an accurate answer.
