Heart rate

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%…

will be using a standard thermometer. Participants will sit on their feet and place the thermometer behind their knees until a reading shows up. All participants will get heart rate monitors to wear during the duration of the tests. Heart rate will be recorded using a wireless transmitter, which will be connected to a heart rate monitor located on the subjects’…

Purpose: Does the heart rate of a student rise more when the student is resting or exercising? It would be obvious that yes, a student’s heart rate would probably rise if they are exercising rather than resting. The data that has been taken down and tested have proven that statement to be true. Background Research: The background research that I have found that besides the difference between exercising and resting, age also has to do with the heart’s rate. The older a person gets the less…

first peak of the electrocardiogram graph corresponded to the atrial contraction of the heart. The second peak of the electrocardiogram graph corresponded to the ventricular contraction of the heart. The third peak observed corresponded to the relaxation of the heart. Frank-Starling Mechanism: There was no significant trend observed in ventricular contractile force in response to increasing imposed length of the heart (Fig 1a). A maximum ventricular contractile force of 0.0032 + 0.001039 N (N=3)…

Does an Increase in Heart Rate affect the height of a Vertical Jump? Introduction: Whether it’s dunking, spiking or getting over that bar, every athlete strives to perfect a high jump. A vertical jump is the action of increasing the centre of gravity in the vertical plane with only the use of one's own muscles (Verma, C, (2015)). The motion of a vertical jump is used in many sports including volleyball, basketball and even football. In sports such as volleyball it could mean the difference…

Table 3 depicts the interval, or the amount of time, between two pulses. Table 4 depicts the calculate heart rates of volunteer 1 and 2 based upon the amplitude and interval of each pulse. As interval decreases, heart rate increase and amplitude does not affect rate, but represents the…

Jumping Jacks on Heart Rate and Blood Pressure I. Introduction It is known that exercise effects how quickly a heart beats and thus how much pressure is needed to pump a person’s blood through their veins. There have been several studies over the years that have tested this. An experiment recoded by Nicolas Tordi, Laurent Mourot, Eglantine Colin, and Jaques Regnard, compared several factors between interval exercise and constant exercise. Two of the factors they monitored were heart rate and…

1. The pacemaker is a treatment for the heart disease called arrhythmia. An Arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an Arrhythmia, the heart can beat irregularly (either too fast or too slow). There are four types of Arrhythmia. premature arrhythmia – are extra heartbeats that begin in one of your hearts two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). These heartbeats disturb your normal heart rhythm which causes your heart rate to increase. supraventricular…

known as cardiac arrhythmia is a group of of conditions where the heartbeat is irregular and or too fast or too slow. Tachycardia is known as a heart rate that is over 100 beats per minute for adults ,while Bradycardia is too slow with below 60 beats per minute. Majority of arrhythmia issues are not serious, but some predispose one to complications like heart failure or a stroke. Arrhythmia are the leading cause of sudden cardiac death, with 400,000 victims a year. There are four main types of…

carrying out the Harvard step test practical. This test is where a person carries out a period of exercise for a certain length of time and then records their heart rate before and for so long after the period. This shows how fit and healthy the heart is by showing how long it takes for the heart to go back to a regular resting pulse rate. “The cardiovascular response to acute exercise is centred on the principle that the cardiovascular system fulfils three primary functions: to deliver…
