Exercising Vs Exercise Research

Improved Essays
Purpose:

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. The best places to check

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

    2.1. Test Procedure Before data was analyzed, the Easy Pulse circuit had to be tuned to the team members’ specific pulse in order to produce transparent and accurate data. This is due to the fact that each individual person has relatively unique heart rates and pulse strengths. While the A0 pin on the circuit board was connected to the AI0+ channel on the Elvis board, P1 or the Gain was turned completely clockwise using a screwdriver. From there, P1 was rotated clockwise until the peak of each pulse were relatively close to 5V. Once tuned, data on the pulse signal was acquired and analyzed using the program Pulse Monitor.vi.…

    Through the process the subjects were sitting looking at the three different videos and at the same time recording their respiration. Subjects look at the blank paper after each video ended and every trial have different order of the video. The first trial for the subject was performed for acclimatization of the subject and for the spirometer to warm up. The data for the first trial was not presented because it can be unreliable data.…

    Sasha Scanlon WCCC/ Spring Semester 2015 A&P II/ Matt S. The Effects of Varied Substances on a Daphnia’s Heart Rate. Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to compare the resting heart rate of a Daphnia, to its heart rate after 5 different substances were tested on it: Aspirin, Nasal Spray, Alka Seltzer, Coffee and Tea. Daphnia’s are often used as an experimental animal in lab settings because they are small, have a short life span and are easily maintained, only needing water to survive. For this specific lab, it was important that we have a test subject whose heart is visible under a microscope.…

    As a small group of the class, we were put together to test one person's heart rate, temperate and breathing rate of the group. By this the subject (person doing the test and being monitored on) would be doing the harvard step test. The harvard step test was simple and effective to do to find out the heart rate, breathing rate and body temperature. In the small groups, we decided to do the experiment on stairs so the subject would simply step up one step and then step down again, and they would repeatively do this for 5 minutes, rest for 5 and then do it again another 2 times.…

    The first trial conducted started at only three miles per hour. Not much work was implied on the body therefore not increasing the heart rate and breathing rate much. For the second trial, the speed was increased by two miles to five miles per hour. A bit more of force was used, putting the body to work a bit harder. Since the body was working harder, the heart rate, along with the breathing rate, increased.…

    The effect of music genre on heart rate and blood pressure By: Kristin Hall Introduction: Heart rate measures the speed of the number of times the heart pulses per a unit of time, normally beats per minute (Biology Online, 2011). The number of pulses is based off the number of contractions of the ventricles. This number shows how much blood is flowing through the body, and thus how much hemoglobin and oxygen is being transported. When muscles become active they require more oxygen to function at optimal conditions, so thus there is a high heart rate when exercising.…

    Regardless of this, there is no proposed mechanism by which this may occur. Signal-averaged ECG allows the assessment of cardiac electrical stability, reductions of which are a known risk factor for cardiac arrhythmias. The aim of the article at hand was to look at cardiac electrical stability using Signal-averaged ECG in a group (15 people were used) of long-term AAS users (21.3 ± 3.1 years of use) compared with a group (of 15 people) of age-matched weight lifters and age-matched sedentary controls [C (15 people). Data was analyzed using the MedCalc statistical package.…

    Different field tests can produce different results due to the linearity of heart rate-oxygen consumption or exercise intensity relationship, similar maximum heart rates for all subjects, day-to-day heart rate variation, and assumed constant economy and mechanical efficiency during activity. Different field tests can also produce different results due to various other factors including human errors, maximal effort, motivational factors, and limitations. For example, if an individual miscalculated his or her heart rate after any of the three field tests, their VO2 max result was most likely skewed. In the 1.5 mile run, if an individual did not put forth his or her best effort, the results may not have been as accurate compared to if the individual put forth his or her best effort. The 1.5 mile run also had motivational factors involved.…

    Though there was a decrease in one of the five subjects’ heart rates and no change in two of the five, the average change in heart rate for the sad movie was an increase of 0.8 beats per minute (bpm). However, two of the five subjects had a decrease in heart rate after the drama which created a lower average change in heart rate for this genre at 1.6 bpm. The horror film and the romantic film both had the highest average change in heart rate at a 4.6 bpm increase. Romantic movies could have a greater effect on teenagers because their hormones are changing and therefore a little romance could increase their heart…
