And yes... I probably am in the wrong line of work, I don't particularly enjoy engineering that much...
Naturally both are important. Low RHR and high LT ==> lots of beats to use for endurance sports. I remember that there was at least one Europro who had 60bpm RHR (can't remember). Honestly, though, 36-40bpm is off the charts!
