Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. Initially, everyone begins to feel anxious when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or making an important decision. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the internal changes of the human body of subjects by age. This science fair project was performed to evaluate the relationship between the age of a person and its effects. The movie called Don’t Breathe was viewed to assist in elevating the heart rate due to the suspense experienced in the film. This experiment involved performing two types of evaluations on the participants- observing heart rate and blood pressure. Ten people were tested in all. The idea is that the older subjects would have more of an effect

After testing 10 subjects (5 young participants and 5 older participants ), the blood pressure level of young and old age participants did show a significant difference. Table 1 shows that the normal average Heart rate for the older age group was 107.4/70, which is considered to be normal. After, the film their blood pressure increased at an average of 119/73.6 which was also considered normal but did increase from the initial results. As for the younger subjects, Their normal blood pressure average was at a 117.6/79.8, which is also considered normal as well. Then the post-fear results were at an average of 103.2/84.8, which is slightly above normal. This is significantly more of a difference than expected. The test results show that all participants had an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. Graph 1 shows the difference in heart rate and blood pressure of older and younger participants.
Outcome 1 Initially, the blood pressure and heart rate from both group participants appear to be normal. Since they were given 2-3 minutes for their hearts to rest.
Outcome 2 The younger participants had a higher blood pressure and heart rate than the older subjects. Therefore, there was more of an effect towards younger people.
