Heart Rate Lab Report

Not only does music affect thought, but it also benefits health. Students usually study in quiet, relaxed surroundings while listening to serene music. Classical music can steady a fast heartbeat and a slower heartbeat induces relaxation. Exercise plays a critical role in maintaining good health, and relaxing music can be favorable to this. Music reduces muscle tension, resulting in a better work out. Scientists performed controlled studies using adult males who were around twenty-five years old. Blood samples were taken before and after treadmill running. The experiment found that with the presence of music, “heart rate, blood pressure, and lactate secretion in the brain were significantly lower” . The results proved that music

The cardiovascular response is triggered by excessive exercise within a short-term anaerobic exercise (such as running for 30 minutes). This initial response starts with the release of adrenaline that causes an increase in heart rate, meaning an increase in cardiac output. This activity

In a normal human being the heart correctly functions by the blood first entering through the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood flow continues through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open leading blood flow through the pulmonary valve and into the pulmonary trunk. Blood is then distributed from the right and left pulmonary arteries to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is unloaded and oxygen is loaded into the blood. The blood is returned from the lungs to the left

The outcomes of the study were that the systolic blood pressure was greater for participants who listened to the obnoxious music than the participants who listened to calm music. Similarly, the systolic blood pressure of the participants who listened to obnoxious music before taking the mathematic test was higher than the participants that listen to calm music before the mathematic test. Also, for the participants who were told their grades would not be affected did not have an effect on their heart rates. However, the students that were told their test scores would determine the amount of extra credit they would get, their heart rate was notably higher for the participants who listened to the obnoxious music than the ones who listened to the calm

Throughout the course of everyday life, variability of heart rate is present for each individual. As the college students on the campus of Truman State University go about their day-to-day lives, they too experience the phenomenon of heart rate variability. While resting and using little movement, many students spend a great number of hours each day studying - a period of time when the body requires a smaller cardiac output in relation to times of movement. However, during the course of an academic day, Truman students, like the majority of human beings, are faced with instances under which time is limited, and they must increase work output to get from one destination to another. Additionally, there are instances in which physical activity is required with variation of difficulty within a workload/resistance. Through this understanding, one can see that the heart rate changes throughout the course of each day, and is thus dependent on the intensity of each daily activity. Although every student on Truman State University’s campus has his/her own unique physiological makeup and personal physical fitness level - every individual is impacted by the variability of his or her own heart rate in response to activities of daily life.

The purpose of this lab is to understand how to measure the heart rate and blood pressure of an individual by the appropriate method. It is important to know how to take these measurements accurately in the healthcare or fitness professions. In this lab, the heart rate was measured by a stethoscope over the chest, and with the middle and index fingers for the carotid and radial arteries. For blood pressure, a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope were used to identify the Korotkoff sounds that indicate the systolic and diastolic pressures. Risk factors such as heart disease and high blood pressure can be discovered through the

When working on a heart in-vivo there is the action of both parasympathetic, sympathetic stimulation as well as hormonal control. In a live animal, the heart will continually be indirectly stimulated by nerve impulses that increase or decrease heart rate based on bodily activity. There is an absence of those factors in an isolated heart preparation, thus the heart rate will solely be determined by the sinoatrial node and the external stimuli administered. Activity 3: Examining the Effect of Temperature on Heart Rate Results: Provide the heart rate values recorded when the heart was bathed with Ringer’s solution of different temperatures. (2

Does the genre of the music affect the mood of the person(s) listening to it (New York, New York - Frank Sinatra, You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison - My Chemical Romance, and The Hills - The Weeknd)? I chose this experiment because everyone (or just my family) says rock makes you demonic, pop makes you happy, etc. and I knew that’s not the case. So, I decided to test it on an eighteen year old that happens to be my sister.

In performing this activity/assessment, I have learned a few things. From this assignment I have learned that the amount of exercise or physical activity for a certain amount of time affects your heart rate and pulse. We were instructed to run up and down the stairs for a total of eight minutes with a 30 second break in between every two minutes to measure your pulse. We recorded data to see what our pulse was every two minutes of physical activity for eight minutes. In doing this i have concluded that the longer you perform physical activity the higher your pulse and heart rate increase, and the longer it take your pulse and heart rate to go back down to your resting heart rate.

Gyms have introduced new methods of motivating their customers during the workouts. A study conducted by The Institute of Education Sciences on college students studied which genres of music where preferred by each student. The study found that students preferred genres like hip hop, pop, and rock to genres like country and metal. Students specifically cited being “much more motivated” to exercise to certain songs than others based on the overall genre. Psychologist have also found that the majority of people had innate preferences for a frequency of 2Hz or 120 bpm (beats per minute). An analysis of about 75,000 songs produced between 1960 and 1990 found that the majority of songs produced had a commonality of about 120 bpm.

In recent years it’s become noticeable that students are using all different forms of music to help them while studying or doing homework. When listening to music one may notice how that person may tap their foot or drum their fingers, even though they appear to be focused on the task in front of them. The rhythm of the piece, whether it is fast or slow, causes the listener’s heartbeat to synch with it (How Music Affects Our Mood, 2014). The question however is which music to listen to. In some studies, test subjects show that the louder the music the more distracted the subjects became (Manthei, 2014). Doctor Emma Gray, a clinical psychologist in Britain, says, “If you choose the right music for the topic you are

The heart rate is a measurement of how many times the heart beats in a minute. Physically fit people tend to have a lower heart rate and during intense exercise tend to have lower rates as well. A decrease of heart rate at both rest and at fixed intensity of sub-maximal exercise [7] occurs a few months after an exercise program is begun. One’s heart rate reflects the amount of work the heart must do to meet an increase of demands of the body when engaged in activity. Heart Rate tends to increase proportionally with intensity oxygen uptake [16].

Music elicits an emotional and cognitive response in all who listen to it. It is powerful at the individual level because “it can induce multiple responses – physiological, movement, mood, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral” (Francis, 2008,
