Effect Of Squat On Heart Rate

Decent Essays
Research Question:
What is the effect of squat on the heart rate?

Introduction:
A human’s heart becomes stronger by exercising like the muscles in our body does, which makes the heart pump more blood around the body with every beat and continue pumping at a maximum level, with an impact of less strain. The resting heart rate of people who exercise is also slower because the effort needed to pump blood through the body is less. People who exercise often have the lowest risk of getting heart disease.
I wanted to discover the effect of a type of exercise on a human’s heart rate so I decided to do squat for five trials each from 10 second to 50 second.

Hypothesis:
The heart rate will increase while exercising and will get lower after doing

    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.…

    Within this lab we studied and compared the quantity of effort throughout intermittent and continuous exercise on a cycle ergometer. The time to fatigue, and recovery time was also considered during each type of exercise. To look at muscular fatigue in this lab we used a sub maximal test, this was used because maximal tests can be harmful to participants. Muscular endurance can be described as the ability of a muscle or muscle groups to do continual muscular contractions with resistance, when the muscle can no longer work at a given rate that is fatigue. Muscles that fatigue quickly have low endurance, muscles that take time to fatigue can be categorised as muscles with high endurance.…

    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 purpose of this experiment was to examine the difference between slow and fast twitch muscle fibers between men and women. Based on the definitions of slow and fast twitch muscle fibers, and given the fact that previous studies state that testosterone increases fast twitch muscle fibers, we expect that athletic men will have a higher leap because they have more fast twitch muscle fibers.…

    In my trials I investigated whether or not different genres of movie actually significant changed one's heart rate. I tested an overall amount of four people ranging in age from thirteen to forty-two. I used movies from the horror (The Woman in Black), action (Suckerpunch), drama (The Happening), and romance genre (The Vow). I found that the genre with the highest average rate in change of heart rate was Horror with an 12.81% average, followed by drama with 5% average, than romance with a 4.48% average, lastly action -0.05% average. My hypothesis was if I tested 4 different movie genres then the genre with the highest average percent of change in heart rate would be horror because these movie are formulated to exhilarate viewers heart beat.…

    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.…

    Count My Heartbeats

    The heartbeat will be going faster once we’ve done the 20 sit-ups and the recovery time will take a while. My hypothesis was correct because once we started doing the sit-ups my heartbeat went faster and the time was not as long as I had thought. Negative feedback occurs when the response to a stimulus reduces the original stimulus; the system acts to reverse the direction of change. This happened during the experiment because when we did sit-ups our heart rate when faster and then it took time to go to its normal speed. Some errors that occurred during the experiment were that we were not on time with the timer and had to do it again; another error would be when I missed counted my heartbeats.…

    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 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.…

    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…
