Does the heart rate of a student rise more when the student is resting or exercising? It would be obvious that yes, a student’s heart rate would probably rise if they are exercising rather than resting. The data that has been taken down and tested have proven that statement to be true.
Background Research:
The background research that I have found that besides the difference between exercising and resting, age also has to do with the heart’s rate. The older a person gets the less their heartbeats per minute. Also the condition the heart is in, how a person is feeling at the time, like happy, sad, scared, sick, resting, etc, the air temperature, body position, body size and what you have eaten or taken.

Materials:
Heart Rate Lab Materials: In this experiment one ThinkPad X120e lab top was used, one Lab Pro interface, one Lab Pro computer program and the heart rate monitors. There were four to five subjects that participated in the experiment. The experiment was conducted in room 305 with an average temperature of 26༠C.
Procedure:
Subjects sat still on a lab stool for 1 minute, which is considered the subjects resting heart rate. The subjects heart rate was taken every 20 seconds for 1 minute. If the data was gaped or it lost connection then it was restarted with the subject. This was repeated for the other 4 subjects. After the subjects exercised for for 1 minute, the exercise was running in place. During the subjects 1 minute exercise the heart rate data for every 20 seconds was taken down.
Data:

The average resting heart rate of subject 1 is 93, the average active heart rate is 112.6. This is still supporting the hypothesis.The average resting heart rate of subject 2 is 77.6, the average active heart rate is 105.6. Even though this subject was sick at the time of the experiment it still proves the hypothesis to be true.The average resting heart rate of subject 5 is 121.4 , the average active heart rate is 177.6. This subject was not sick during the experiment but was a consuming a lot of sugar prior to the experiment which increased the subject’s heart rate. But it still supports the hypothesis even though the number a pretty close Some possible errors could've been the subject(s) were extremely tired or sick causing the heart to change. Another error could've been the subject(s) emotion could've been in the way, the subject(s) could've had weird emotions causing the heart rate to fluctuate to the emotion(s). This experiment could be used in everyday things by helping scientists and doctors better understand the heart rate of different people and people understand their hearts better. The next experiment could be the subject(s) could lay in a different position and doing a different physical exercise more or less physical and active. Running does increase the heart rate and the data supported
