Working out can be strenuous at times. Therefore, you may start experiencing muscle fatigue. The main factor for muscle fatigue is the accumulation of lactic acid that builds up due to muscles working. Thus, the type of exercise you conduct can have a a major impact on muscle fatigue.
Question:
Hypothesis:
In regards to whether you should exercise or rest first before squeezing a clothespin to receive higher results, you should rest first. This is because if you rest you maintain more ATP (energy) and lactic acid won't build up causing muscle fatigue. For instance, according to the article "Muscle Fatigue" it quotes " When you were opening and closing the clothespin at a fast pace, your muscles were exercising …show more content…
In addition, based on what I was observing I notice that various people who did exercise, were getting tired faster than people who did not exercise. Thus, this can be supported by the data collected from the experiment.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, as previously stated, in regards to whether it's better to rest or to exercise first In order to receive higher results in the number of times you can squeeze a clothespin in one minute, it's better to rest. This claim can be supported by information from the data table. For instance, the data table portrays how the average number of students who rest is greater. The average number of times the students that rest were able to squeeze the clothespin was 160 and for the students who exercised it was 130. It is obvious 160 is greater than 130, therefore this makes my hypothesis correct. However, there were several possible sources of errors that occurred. This includes the fact the amount of people in each group was not even but unbalance by one more person in the control group. Another blemish was that there were various people who were not exercising when they were supposed to. This might have caused major changes in the results that we as a class collected. Together, we all needed to be proactive in order to be able to conduct this experiment. Conducting this experiment had a severe impact on us because It
