Effect of Exercise on Pulse Rate and Blood Pressure Purpose: To determine the effect of jogging on pulse rate and blood pressure. Hypothesis: If you jog then your heart rate and blood pressure will increase. Materials: Tape Measure Blood Pressure Cuff Procedure: 1. Record resting blood pressure and heart rate. 2. Measure out 100m. 3. Jog 100m (same speed every time) 4. When finished jogging 100m record heart rate and blood pressure. 5. Repeat steps 3&4‚ 3 more times 6. Calculate average

smaller and possibly even deadlier predator. This predator was called poliomyelitis‚ a prehistoric virus that has been killing since ancient times. As David Oshinsky noted‚ the nation had seen polio before the twentieth century‚ but epidemics had always been focused on immigrant children in the slums (24). When polio started affecting grown adults and all children‚ the panic began to set in. This was a turning point in American history because of the unity that resulted from this terrible disease. The

Polio Still Exists? About two months after you were born your parents took you to the pediatrician for your set of “two month shots” (Crosta). Your doctor handed them a list of vaccinations he was going to administer to you and they looked over it carefully. They were curious to see exactly what diseases might have infected you without the doctor’s care. On the lengthy list in their hands a few names of the vaccinations puzzle your parents‚ a small amount intrigue them‚ but only one vaccination

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the speed of sound in air through the pulse-echo experiment and the measured air temperature. Hypothesis: I believe the measured air temperature will affect the speed of sound because sound waves are longitudinal waves composed of the alternating compressions and rarefactions in air. If the air temperature is below 0°C‚ then the speed of sound would be lower than 331.6 m/s and if the air temperature is above 0°C‚ then the speed of sound would be higher

beat is stronger in the neck it is sometimes more difficult to locate and so most people tend to measure it from the wrist. For a healthy person of my age a pulse rate between 60 and 100 is considered to be normal. When I was at rest my heart rate was 82 bpm (Beats per minute). This could be inaccurate due to being nervous though I took my pulse reading both manually and on a machine and it came back the same both times‚ which may increase the reliability of the

OBSERVING WAVE PULSES - EXPERIMENT 15 PART 1 - Transverse Wave Pulses Q1 - As the pulse travels down through the spring‚ its‚ size and amplitude is reduced - the sizes of the waves are much smaller as the forces become weaker (losing energy) as the distance from the point of initiation is increased. Q2 - Pulses do not ’catch up’ with one another in transverse waves. They either meet at a certain point momentarily or pass through each other and continue on their way as if nothing has happened.

An Interpretation of “On The Pulse Of Morning” The poem that Maya Angelou chose the read at President Clinton’s inaugural in 1993‚ delivers a message of hope. It uses the metaphor of morning or dawn to show that people can create their dreams and bring them to life. Maya Angelou has been a national celebrity since the reading of this poem. Her writings have a way of embracing people and successfully state her thoughts and emotions. “Pulse” is a call for hope and opportunity in part of our history

The pros for the polio vaccine is that there have not been any cases of wild polio that has been reported for over 20 years or more. The cons would be that the polio disease is still widespread in developing countries (Dirks‚ 2002). With children receiving the polio vaccine‚ this can keep them from being affected by the disease. In the past‚ thousands of children were stricken with this disease every year. Now‚ with the usage of vaccine it has pretty much forced polio out the door because it’s very
