Heart Rate
Research Question: Do different exercises have different effect on heart rate?
Method:
1. Find test subject
2. Prepare for activity (stretching)
3. Take heart rate of subject before exercise
4. Record heart rate
5. Do sit ups for 2 mins
6. Time using stop watch
7. Record heart rate
8. Allow subject to rest (lower heart rate)
9. Begin next exercise
10. Jumping jacks for 2 mins
11. Time using stopwatch
12. Record heart rate
13. Allow subject to rest (lower heart rate)
14. Squats for 2 mins
15. Time using stop watch
16. Record heart rate
17. Allow subject to rest (lower heart rate)
18. Examine data and reflect
Calculating heart rate:
To find your heart rate will take you only 4 easy steps:
1. Find your pulse located somewhere on the upper neck
2. Get a timer once you have found your heart rate
3. Count how many beats you get for 15 seconds (use timer)
4. Once you have the number do the following formulae:
Amount of beats X 4 = Heart rate
Results:
Exercises
Heart rate
Resting
72
Sit ups
140
Jumping jacks
152
Push ups
144
Variables:
Hypothesis: I believed that when carrying out this experiment that the sit ups would increase the heart rate more than the other activities as many people find difficult.
Conclusion: In conclusion my hypothesis was incorrect and as I researched to back up my results I discovered that sit ups target more to your stomach muscles and heart muscles which does not increase heart rate a lot. The exercise that increases your heart rate the most was jumping jacks and due to further research jumping jacks require the biggest muscles in your body the arms and legs, this means that the heart has to pump a lot of blood to those muscles that are farther away from the heart. This makes the hard work harder therefor increasing heart rate (cardio). My results may have been affected as a result of the subject (reda) doing the exercises sloppy and may have done a few wrong this may have affect ted the results. Another way that could
