How does exercise affect heart rate?

Name: __________________ Date: ___________________

Introduction:
When you do exercise your heart pumps more faster then usual because your body needs more blood. Your heart pumps oxygenated blood and you need oxygen from your lungs. To do this, you need to breath faster, the reason why your heart is beating so fast is so then your heart keeps up with pumping more and more blood through out the body. Our purpose of doing this lab is to know how does exercise affect heart rate. It was interesting when we tried to nd our heart rate because usually we wont nd our heart rate on purpose. It was interesting when we do our experiment and it is also kind of challenging.

Research questions:
The purpose of this experiment is to nd out how different durations of exercise affect heart rate in different ways. How do I nd my resting heart rate? I checked the pulse in my wrist for fteen seconds and then times it by four so then that would equal up to a minute. What is my resting heart rate?

Trial 1 76

Trial 2 76

Trial 3 84

Trial 4 73

Trial 5

Average 77

76

How do different types of exercise affect your heart rate differently? When you do different exercise your heart will be different because in some exercise you move more and your heart pumps more blood to let the blood go to your body.

Variables:
The independent variable is: (the one variable that you will change)

The amount of jumping jacks we are going to be doing! Heart rate

The dependent variable is: (The variable that you are investigating)

Control Variables
The factors that you keep the same, so that the experiment is a fair test. Try and list at least 5.

Factors to be controlled: 1 Doing the same exercise

Reason it needs to be controlled:

How it will be controlled:

Different exercise effects different heart rate

Do the same exercise every time

2 Using the same timer

Each timer is different some Use the same timer every time are faster and some are slower if we use a different timer ever time our results will be different If we start without a resting Stop for 5 minutes before doing the heart rate our heart will pump next trial faster and faster so the result will be different We need to nd our pulse to collect data Use your ngers to nd your pulse

3 Before we do the exercise we need to make sure we have a resting heart rate 4 Find your pulse

Hypothesis:
What will happen to the dependent variable as the independent variable is changed? Our heart rate will start pumping a lot faster. Why? Your heart pumps oxygenated blood and you need oxygen from your lungs. To do this, you need to breath faster, the reason why your heart is beating so fast is so then your heart keeps up with putting more and more blood through out the body. What would that relationship look like on a graph? Try to sketch a graph to illustrate this:

We ended up doing the experiment on the roof top but the settings are the same.

Method:
Some things to keep in mind as your write your method: Refer to your diagram Use exact quantities Make controlled variables clear Make independent variable clear Make what is being measured and how it is being measured clear Tell that the test is being repeated for multiple trials Tell how the data will be processed Tell the type of graph that will be drawn with the data at the end Step1:Set up all of the equipment like the diagram Step2:Make sure your pulse is at its resting heart rate and get the timer ready in your computer Step3:Start doing jumping jacks Step4:Let the partner start the timer and you count your heart rate for 15 seconds Step4:Tell the partner to stop the timer and times the result (The heart rate that you counted just now) by four and put the nal result on to this document

Conclusion:

From the graph, the results show (What happens to the dependent variable as the independent variable changes?) . . .
Our heart rate will change as the amount of exercise change. As we do more exercise and our heart will pump faster to let more blood go through our body. Your heart pumps oxygenated blood and you need oxygen from your lungs. To do this, you need to breath faster, the reason why your heart is beating so fast is so then your heart keeps up with pumping more and more blood through out the body.

This happens because (Consider the concepts you used in your

hypothesis). This is a good place to include some diagrams if they will help explain your ideas.
Your heart pumps faster because when you do exercises you need more blood. You get oxygenated blood from your lungs as your heart pumps so when you do exercise you need more blood so your heart pumps faster to let more blood to go through your body.

Table 3: Reliability of the method: Were there enough trials? Did multiple trials give similar data? Are there anomalous points?
Reliability of data. The measuring instruments. Timer a) Did the measuring instruments collect data that can be trusted? Yes/ No Yes, the measuring instrument did collect data that can be trusted The timer was to help us to count down 1min. We check our pulse during that 1min. Explanation (why / why not?)

b) Was the experiment repeated enough times? Yes/ No

Yes, the experiment was repeated enough times. We did 5 trials and it is enough to check if the results are correct.

c) Did the measuring instrument collect precise data? (i.e. Did the multiple trials give similar data?) Yes/ No

Yes, the measuring instrument collet precise data most of the data were very similar but some are not. e.g. The experiment when we did 20 jumping jacks, in trial 1 the result was 148, trial 2 was 136, trial 3 was 132, trial 4 was 156.

Size of sample. d) Was the range large enough? Why/ Why not?

Yes/ No

No, in my graph the results were quite similar.

Were there any surprising results? What were they?

Yes, we did 3 trials and i thought the average will be similar but the results were very different.

You are almost done! Now go back to the beginning and give your investigation a title using the dependent and independent variable.
