The problem that our group tried to answer was whether the average heart rates of boys are higher than the average heart rate of girls. In this experiment, our group needed to find the resting heart rate of each person involved in the experiment, the heart rate of each person after one minute of vigorous exercise, and the heart rate of each person after two and a half minutes of rest. Upon drawing a conclusion on what our group will test and how we will test it, our group found a group of six boys and four girls. We had each of the people involved in our experiment run up and down a staircase for one minute. When each person finished this exercise, one took their heart rate again We then recorded the data and had each member of the experiment rest for two and a half minutes. It was at this time that we recorded their heart rate again. We performed this trial twice for the boys and once for the girls due to time restraints.
This data correlates with the boys. Person one began with a resting heart rate of 120 bpm. After one minute of exercise, their heart rate rose to 168 bpm. After they rested for two and half minutes, their heart rate was 132 bpm. In their second trial, they began with a resting heart rate of 96 bpm. After one …show more content…
Present in all three heart rate measurements, the boys possessed a higher average heart rate. The boys’ average resting heart rate was 97.2 bpm, 8.7 bpm higher than the girls’ average heart rate of 88.5 bpm. The boys’ average heart rate after exercising was 162.6 bpm, 14.1 bpm higher than the girls’ average heart rate of 148.5 bpm. After resting for two and a half minutes, the boys’ average heart rate was 114.6 bpm, 21.6 bpm higher than the girls’ average heart rate of 93 bpm. This data allows for one to draw the conclusion that boys’ heart rate is higher than the girls while resting, exercising, and

    P5 Explain The Concept Of Homeostasis

    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 watch may not have taken the heart rate correctly, although on preliminary tests it did. These two influences may have been the most prominent extraneous variables that altered the data. Overall, the extraneous variables should have been considered for more accurate tests. Most of the data was correct, and was enough to make an actual conclusion to the experiment.…

The training the athletes in Abidins’ experiment had to undergo was much more intense than majority of our female participants. Some possible sources of error for this experiment were measurements, clothing, and effort. If one individual is not measuring the same way as another, the results…

    Caffeine Experiment

    We chose to conduct this experiment because both Amber and I are interested in athletics and the science side of it. There have been several researchers studying the effects of caffeine, and they believe it can enhance athletic performance and agility in sports. Because of this we believe if caffeine levels are increased, then time taken to run a lap will decrease when time is a function of caffeine level. To test this we will have a group of ten subject male and female who around the same athletic capabilities. Then, we will give them a set volume of liquid at different caffeine levels to see if the subjects running time changes with the caffeine.…

    Rockport 1.5 Mile Walk Test Lab Report

    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.…

    The Influence Of Energy Drinks

    Heart rate is defined as the number of heartbeats per unit of time. Heart rate us based on how many contractions of the ventricles, which are the lower chambers of the heart. At the 2013 American Heart Association meeting, which took place in New Orleans, studies show that drinking one to three energy drinks could increase a person's blood pressure and mess with the heart rhythm. The normal heart rate for adults is from 60 to 100 beats per minute. An unusually low or high heart rate can cause problems.…

    How Does Romantic Movies Affect Heart Rate

    The data does not support my hypothesis for the sad movie. The average change in heart rate for each movie genre was an increase. As predicted, the horror movie had a very high average change in heart rate while the change in heart rate was lower for the comedy and the drama. The romantic movie had a much higher change in heart rate than expected, but the hypothesis was still supported. The prediction for the sad movie was that the subjects’ heart rates would decrease and create a negative mean change in heart rate.…

    Essay On Fitness Test

    A fitness test is a great tool to utilize in order to measure cardiovascular fitness and understand how hard the body is working during physical activity. To measure a person’s overall fitness, four types of tests must be performed: aerobic fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition (President’s Challenge). Each component is tested individually for cardiovascular strength, the ability to perform every day activities, joint movement and flexibility, and amounts of fat on the body respectively (President’s Challenge). Each component of the fitness test is measured with different types of activity. To test my aerobic fitness, I chose to do the 1-mile walk and timed myself and recorded my heart rate when I finished the brisk…
