Best Answer

A person who has never exercised before would have a higher heart rate and blood pressure than an ahlete at rest. A athlete could have a heart rate below 60 BPM becauses they have a stronger and healthy heart

Edit to add: Uhh ... While all of this may be true, the question is asking about a higher pulse pressure. Pulse pressure refers to the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. Due primarily to decreases in the diastolic pressure observed in athletes, a resting athlete will have the higher *PULSE PRESSURE*.
