In conclusion, this experiment was successful. The purpose of the experiment was to observe the change in heartbeats per minute before and after a physical activity, in this case, ten jumping jacks. As predicted, the data proved that the hypothesis was correct because you can clearly see in the graph that the heart rate after exercise was higher. One point that I noticed from the data was that the ten jumping jacks affected the subjects differently. Subject two’s heart rate after exercise was significantly higher than subject one’s. Subject one’s heart rate increased only slightly; whereas subject two’s heart rate increased significantly. This experiment is a good basis for additional testing involving heart rates and exercise. If this investigation
Introduction: In this experiment, cardiovascular fitness is being determined by measuring how long it takes for the test subjects' to return to their resting heart rate. Cardiovascular fitness is the ability to "transport and use oxygen while exercising" (Dale 2015). Cardiovascular fitness utilizes the "heart, lungs, muscles, and blood working together" while exercising (Dale 2015). It is also how well your body can last during moderate to high intensity cardio for long periods of time (Waehner 2016). The hypothesis is that people who exercise for three or more days will return to their resting heart rate much faster than people who only exercise for less than three days.
This experiment was carried out as noted about in Procedure 1. The resting heart rate was established and used as a baseline value from which to compare all future deviations. While data could
The authors then share their analysis on the changes of heart rate and GSR at the many different points throughout their study.
4) Compare and contrast oscillations in heart rate observed at rest (Activity 1), during exercise and recovery exercise (Activity 2). Is the relative magnitude of the oscillations the same? Provide a physiological explanation in your answer.
In this assignment I will be introducing a formal report that is based on an investigation into how the body responds to exercise and which analyses the results from the investigation. The investigation involves myself and other pupils in my class. I will be doing the Harvard step test. the other pupils in my class will be monitoring my heart rate, breathing rate and temperature before and after the test.
B. Part B. PowerPhys Experiment 4 – Effect of Exercise on Cardiac Output (13 points total)
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
Being knowledgeable about the heart is very important, especially if one is an athlete. This experiment is significant, because it can tell us how important it is for one to keep their heart healthy. It will also tell us how playing a sport can benefit one’s health and the well being of their heart. Our hypothesis says, if the athleticism of a person increases, then the heart rate recovery time will decrease when heart rate recovery in a function of athleticism. The purpose of this project is to see which type of athlete, or non-athlete has the best heart function.
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.
During rest or normal physical activity muscles use glucose and break it down to CO2 and H2O to give ATPs (energy) to the muscles to work. This reaction requires oxygen which comes from the blood. Therefore your heart constantly requires to pump oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body muscles and carry back the CO2. the independent variable would be exercise, leaving the heart rate as the dependent variable; thus it is the one that it affected. This lab was to fully understand how the heart is affected by exercise.During exercises, more ATPs are required and hence more glucose is broken down, therefore more oxygen is required. therefore the heart needs to pump oxygenated blood into the muscles faster and Therefore the heart rate increases.
Hypothesis: If a person practices an aerobic sport on a daily basis (athlete), then he will have a higher recovery rate due to the fact that their hearts are more accustomed to intense physical exercises than someone who does not (non-athlete).
Aims - This study is to ascertain, if there is an effect on heart rate after exercise. This is being done to see, if there is a difference between resting heart rate and heart rate after performing exercise.
The literature on the effects of exercise of cardiac output maintains the idea that exercise should affect cardiac output- pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, QRS-pulse lag, P-T and T-P intervals, because of increased heart rate. For our experiment, we tested this theory by measuring our cardiac output before and after some rigorous exercise. We measured the individual cardiac output and then combined the data to compose a class-wide data average. We compared the results of the experiment to what we expected, which was that exercise does affect our heart. Our data from this experiment supported the notion that exercise does, in fact, change cardiac output.
Now that the experiment has been tested, the results are in there comes the analysis part of the process. After I had determined my calculation I saw where my beats per minute were over a hundred; this consider me to be Tachycardia. Tachycardia refers to an abnormally fast resting heart rate. When examining what Tachycardia was and how it can be affected made me see that different scenarios will affect the beats per minute. Anxiety, caffeine, stress can all cause someone to have such a rapid heartbeat. I remember from when taking the echocardiogram that I was stressed
Carry out an experiment to measure the heart rate and ventilation rate before, during and after moderate exercise.
