Homeostasis and how the body responds to exercise. This report will interpret the results of the practical activities that was done in order to monitor the changes in heart rate‚ temperature and blood pressure before and after exercise. Blood pressure is the measure of how much pressure is put on the walls of the blood vessels when the blood is pumped through them. This is measured in two parts‚ the larger number on top is known as the systolic pressure‚ this measures the pressure as the blood

Heart rate measurement indicates the soundness of the human cardiovascular system. This project demonstrates a technique to measure the heart rate by sensing the change in blood volume in a finger artery while the heart is pumping the blood. It consists of an infrared LED that transmits an IR signal through the fingertip of the subject‚ a part of which is reflected by the blood cells. The reflected signal is detected by a photo diode sensor. The changing blood volume with heartbeat results in a train

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

on heart rate/ breathing rate? Justification Pulse is an ongoing wave of pressure in the arteries‚ caused by pumping of heart. Pulse can be measured on the wrist‚ neck‚ back of the knee or any other pulse point where arteries run close to the surface of the skin and compress on the bone. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you rest and increases when you exercise. More oxygen rich blood is needed by the body when exercising so knowing how to take your pulse can help

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

the difference in heart rates before and during intense exercise. Aim: The aim of the investigation was to discover how the heart rate varied with the intensity of exercise. The heart rate is a term describing the regularity of the cardiac cycle. The heart rate is the amount of times it contracts (beats) in a unit of time‚ nearly always per minute. At rest the adult female’s heart rate regulates 75 bpm (beats per minute) but this varies between people. If the heart rate is measured before‚ during

Discussion Heart Rate Our hypothesis stated 1.) The heart rate increases substantially when a person performs a physical activity and 2.) Females have heart rates greater than males’. In this experiment we measured the resting heart rates and exercise heart rates of both the male and females that are in the class. We calculated the results that were taken by each member of each group in the class (6 males and 16 females total). The average resting heart rate for women was 71.8 beats per minute

Introduction: Heart Rate is defined as the amount of times a person’s heart beats in one minute. A resting heart rate is the person’s heart rate prior to any activity or exercise. As activity increases‚ the heart rate will increase in speed. An increased heart rate is essential as it replaces oxygen in the muscles that is used during said activity and gets rid of excess carbon dioxide through the blood stream. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing on the walls of the veins and arteries
