Methods of analysis:
Andrea used a heart rate monitor to record and compare the impact the spin class has – before, during and after- on her heart.
The heart rate monitor consist of two parts they work together. The transmitter which looks like a belt and needs to be fixed around the chest and the receiver will be worn as a watch on the wrist. They have different functions, the monitor will measure and record your average heart rate from the moment the monitor is switched on till it is been turned off. Important is the direct contact from the transmitter to the skin, as it picks up electrical signals from the heart through the skin, when it beats. The data will be send then to the wrist band where the heart is displayed and the whole data is collected to review the differences during the period of measurement. (Wood, R. (2015) Measuring Heart Rate)
For measuring her blood pressure she might has used an automatic machine. She needs to put her arm in a cuff – where a gauge is fixed- which gets inflated to squeeze the arm. If the cuff is fully inflated air will be released …show more content…
Statistics show that 60 to 100 BPM for an adult resting, are a normal range. (www.mayoclinic.org) The highest heart rate was reached by 174 BPM and her average heart rate during exercise pointed out 142 BPM. For a high intensive sport like spinning these results indicates a high level of fitness. Just one minute after her spin exercise her heart rate dropped already to 98 BPM what is back to a normal heart rate for an adult resting. The blood pressure before exercising was 119 systolic over 78 diastolic and one minute after she finished exercising 126/76. As the normal blood pressure is somewhere between `100/70 to 130/90` (Hufton, 2012, p.20) and her blood pressure was in comparison just 1 minute after exercise still in the normal range, underlines her
