Heart Rate Lab Report
Investigative Quest
The purpose of this experiment was to find out how music affects the female human heart rate. Hypothesis
My hypothesis is that female resting heart rate will increase as the music tempo increases. If the tempo is slower the heart rate will stay at resting heart rate or decrease. Variables
The variables used in this experiment were:
• The tempo of the music.
• The subject’s heart rate.
• The subject’s age.
Controls
The controls used in this experiment were:
• How long the subject rested before listening
• How long the subject listened.
• All subjects were female.
• Where & how the heart rate was taken.
• Music listened to.
• Number of songs listened to.
• Same volume listened to.
• Same environment.
Controlled Experiment …show more content…
Subject’s heart rate will be taken four (4) times for one (1) minute, one (1) minute apart, and then averaged together to establish a resting heart rate.
Subject’s heart rate will be taken four (4) times for one (1) minute, one (1) minute apart, and then averaged together, after listening to each song for one (1) minute.
The same five (5) songs will be played
• Tempo 1- Classical: Mozart Piano Sonata #15
• Tempo 2 - Country: Cruise
• Tempo 3 - Pop: Shake It Off
• Tempo 4 - Rock And Roll: It’s My Life
• Tempo 5 - Meditation: Ocean Waves
Same heart rate measuring device will be used, an Omron Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor, Model HEM-412C. This device will be put on the right arm of all the subjects. Background Information
I was interested in doing this experiment with the body and something out of the ordinary. I looked up music and heart rate on the Internet and read a couple articles on the effect of music on the human heart. I decided to test females only because I only have sisters. Materials
