Part A
Introduction
Aim:
To investigate the effect of the duration of a jog on an individual’s heart rate.
Background:
The circulatory system, consisting of the heart, blood vessels and blood, is the system that moves blood throughout the body, thus permitting the transport of oxygen and nutrients to cells. During exercise, the body’s need for oxygen increases, and thus heart rate also increases. Exercise helps to strengthen the heart, so that it can pump more blood through the body and continue working at a maximum level, if needed, with less strain. Thus, people who exercise more often experience a lower resting heart rate, because less effort is needed to pump blood.
Hypothesis:
If the duration of a jog is increased, then the heart rate of the jogger also

The intensity must be controlled to ensure that it does not affect the heart rate of the test subject.
The participant must be a controlled variable (remain the same) to ensure that the unique characteristics of different individuals do not have an influence on their heart rate after jogging.
The time when heart rate is measured must be constant to ensure that the heart rate of the individual does not fall at different levels.
Materials
• Stopwatch
• Participant/person jogging
Method
1. Measure the heart rate of the participant at rest by placing the index and middle finger over the carotid artery, recording the number of beats that occur during a 15-second period, and multiplying that number by 4. This is the heart rate in BPM (beats per minute). Record this on a table as shown below:
Duration of jogging (in seconds) Heart Rate (in BPM)
2. Have the participant jog for a period of 30 seconds in a circle around the field.
3. Measure the heart rate of the participant immediately after the jog is completed, by using the method detailed in step 1. Record the results on the table shown in step
Using the lab activity, observe and record the physiologic changes that occur during exercising using the following chart:
The pulse rate increases each time due to the acknowledgment of the pulse and I therefore was able to get more accurate results.
7. After obtaining 10-20 seconds of stable heart rate values, rise rapidly to a standing position. Continue to record until the baseline heart rate has been achieved or until the end of the run. Data will be collected for 400 seconds.
The heart rates of participants was tested before the step test, one minute, two minutes, and three minutes after the step test was performed in this experiment. Since heart rate increases while someone is performing physical activity, it was expected that heart rates of the students would be higher than before the step
The controlled variable included the exercise bike and heart rate monitor. There are several limitations, systematic and random errors that should be considered when interpreting these results. (4) The controlled variables were not tested before this experiment to see if they were working and reliable. Figure 2 heart rate was quite inconsistent and did not follow the pattern of the other results, which maybe suggest a random error with the heat rate monitor. A systematic error could include the fitness of the participants. One of the test subjects is an endurance athlete and the other does not compete in any sport. This would affect the results because for the endurance-trained athlete, from their training they increase their cardiac output results from a substantial increase in maximal stroke volume. In untrained persons, cardiac output increases in response to exercise primarily by an increase in heart rate. The endurance-trained athlete does so mainly by an increase in stroke volume. Simply meaning that although both participants are doing the same cadence and length the endurance athletes skewers the results by already having an increased rate in stroke volume. Another systematic error may include the rate of perceived effort. For the most accurate results, the measured maximum heart rate would be necessary to give an accurate cadence to ride at.
Research Question: What is the effect of practicing aerobic sports on a daily basis, on the recovery heart rate of people?
Does exercise affect a person's heart rate? Our hypothesis is that longer periods of exercise will increase a person’s heart rate. We will be testing this hypothesis by running an experiment that includes three different trials. For each trial we will have one person run up and one half of a flight of stairs for different periods of time. Our objective is to prove our hypothesis right by being able to provide data tables and graphs as evidence. The importance of doing this experiment is to be able to show how exercising for longer periods of time will increase your heart rate significantly, which is what we predict will happen. We are hoping that this experiment will help people become aware
Method and results - The study was compiled of seven female students from the University of Huddersfield. For the exercise a step was used, a polar heart rate monitor was used for each participant with an independent assessor timing the participants, and recording the readings. Results of the study showed there was an increase in heart rate when performing mild exercise.
The heart rate can vary on the person. During the human physiology lab I learned that if there are two people and they both run at the same rate and the same type of courses that their heart rate can vary. My theory for this is that one person was more fit than the other. When I mean the other is fit
The effects of exercise on blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate and electrical activity of the heart were assessed. The measurements of respiration rate, pulse rate and blood pressures were noted as described in Harris-Haller (2016). Data was first taken from subjects in a relaxed position and then followed by sets of reading after exercising based on one minute intervals. The data also noted sitting ECG traces from Harris-Haller (2016). The respiratory rate, pulse, blood pressure, P wave, QRS complex and T wave were defined for each subject. The class average was calculated for males and females and graphed to illustrate the results by gender for each cardiopulmonary factor.
The aim of this investigation is to observe the effects of heart rate on a vertical jump. A group of participants will run on a treadmill and once their heart rate reaches a designated point they will proceed to the vertical jump.
* When the star jump exercise is complete I will then record the heart rate every minute using a stopwatch, until it returns to it's original resting pulse rate. Key Factors: In order to make my experiment a safe one we had to follow many obvious rules by making sure that the area we used was open and away from other people to avoid injury to others. We made sure that proper
The purpose of the experiment is to see how different variables affect pulse rate and blood pressure.
The purpose of these lab exercises is to understand the function and importance of an electrocardiogram. This lab will demonstrate how stress levels or different elevations can affect human heart rate. Furthermore, the equipment used in the experiment will show the functions in the right and left arm; as well as, in the right and left ankles. Finally, the lab will serve a purpose as a way to know how to read an electrocardiogram and calculate the heart rate.
Carry out an experiment to measure the heart rate and ventilation rate before, during and after moderate exercise.
