How does exercise affect heart rate?

Introduction:
The purpose of this lab was to nd out how your heart rate changed as you did more exercises. Some of my favorite parts of this lab were the Results and the Research. I liked the research part because at rst I had no idea what kinds of things your body needed to do when you were exercising and while I was doing research it felt cool learning about what kinds of things your heart needed to do to while your were exercising and I learned a lot about how different things you do affects your heart rate differently. I also liked the Results part of the Lab, when you had to perform your tests. I liked conducting them because I had fun running and exercising for the lab. One of the things I found challenging about this lab was writing the Conclusion and nding Variables. For the Conclusion, I just had trouble looking for the right thing to say to answer the questions given. As for the variables, I had trouble looking for the right controlled variables. I wasnt sure if some of the controlled variables were needed or not. 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? - First you need to nd your pulse. After that you need to count how may heartbeats occur in 60 seconds. But to make if easier you can count how many heartbeats occur in 10 seconds and then multiply that number by 6. What is my resting heart rate? - Trial 1: 108bpm Trial 2: 96 Trial 3, Trial 4, Trial 5: 90 and my average resting heart rate is 94.8

Trial 1 108 bpm

Trial 2 96 bpm

Trial 3 90 bpm

Trial 4 90 bpm

Trial 5 90 bpm

My Average BPM 94.9 bpm

How do different types of exercise affect your heart rate differently? Running: When running, your heart rate builds up according to how much effort you put into it. So based on how fast you run your body will adjust to the amount of blood your muscles need. Push Ups: When doing push-ups, your heart-rate doesnt exactly increase based on the speed you are doing them in. When doing push-ups it is usually done in a very slow pace. This is what some people think that they have to do because they dont know that it is all in the stress in your

muscles. When doing push-ups, you need to use your arms, chest, and shoulders to lift all of your body weight off of the ground. Aerobic Exercises: Aerobic exercise concentrates on the bodys oxygen energy-generating process. It is an exercise that focuses on the pace of how you do exercises. So basically it is done from a slow pace to a more moderate pace. What this means is that this type of exercise occurs when you are doing a long lasting exercise, which means that the body needs to be able to hold up for a longer period of time. For example, when running a long distance marathon, your body needs to keep its pace and be able to run the whole distance. Anaerobic Exercises: An Anaerobic Exercise is an exercise that increases your power and builds your muscle mass. When doing and Anaerobic exercise, you are trying to perform at your greatest in a shorter period of time. For example, if you were swimming the 50 meter freestyle in a swim meet, you will have to swim your fastest during the whole race because of the short distance. But if you were swimming a 200 meter freestyle you would have to pace yourself so that you can swim the entire race. If this happened, swimming this event would become an aerobic exercise rather than an anaerobic exercise.

Exercise: I will be running around the gym in a specic amount of time. Trial 1: Running around the gym in 1minute Trial 2: Running around the gym in 2 minutes Trial 3: Running around the gym in 3 minutes

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

The amount of time that I run around the gym. My 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:

Reason it needs to be controlled:

How it will be controlled:

1) The exercise that I am because if the exercise I will do the same exercise each doing changes then the result wont time. be accurate.

2) My resting heart rate

because if I dont keep the I will control this by waiting after I same resting heart rate then each exercise till my heart rate get my average heart rate time will close to my average resting heart be elevated. rate.

3) Where I am doing my because then the distance that I will control this by staying in the exercise I run might change and the same place. tests wont be accurate 4) I will always be running

because I am the one looking I will always make sure that I will for my average heart rate after be doing the test not Sam. all of my exercises

5) Always the same timer because Sam is my lab partner I will always make sure that Sam is and he will be helping me out. the one timing me.

Hypothesis:
I think that your heart rate will increase as you do more exercise. This is because how the body works, is that the heart pumps blood to your muscles. This needs to be done because your blood has oxygen and your muscles need oxygen for them to move so when the heart pumps blood to your muscles, your muscles use the oxygenated blood. So when you exercise, your muscles move more then usual. When this happens, the muscles need more blood from the heart and because of this, your heart needs to pump blood faster making your heart beat faster, resulting in an increase in heart rate.

Conclusion:

From the graph, the results show (What happens to the dependent variable as the independent variable changes?) . . .

Looking at the results from the graph, I think that the more exercise I did the more my heart rate increased. First, I started with my resting heart rate, 94.8, and when I started my rst exercise, my average heart rate shot up to 154.4. For my second test, my heart rate increased, to give me the average of 166.2. And for my last test, my last average was 179.2. Looking at the graph again I noticed that from my resting heart rate to my average for my rst exercise, there was a big gap. But from my rst exercise to my last exercise, there was a very steady line shown on my graph.

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.

My heart rate increased as I did more exercise because the more my muscles moved the more my heart needed to pump blood to my muscles. In your blood there is oxygen, and to move, your muscles need that oxygen. To get the blood, your heart pumps it to all of your muscles, so the muscles can function as you are doing your exercise. If you are running, your heart rate depends on how much effort you put into it because the more you move you muscles, the more blood needs to be pumped. So you could be running your hardest and fastest and your heart would need to pump faster to get blood to your muscles, but if you are running and you arent really going as fast, your muscles would need to pump blood to your muscles but wouldnt need to pump as fast.

So from both Vena Cavas both superior (where the blood from the upper body goes in) and inferior (where the blood from the lower body comes in), the blood enters the heart and goes into the right atrium. After that, the blood goes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Then the blood goes through the pulmonic valve to get to the pulmonary artery and goes right or left to either lungs. When the blood comes to the heart from the lungs, it goes through the pulmonary veins and then to the left atrium through the mitral valve. After that it goes through the aortic valve and out through the aorta again.

So when the blood is coming out of the heart, after coming out of the right or left side pulmonary artery, it goes into the pulmonary capillaries in each of the lungs. When the comes out of the lungs out into the heart again, the blood comes from the pulmonary capillaries again and completes the cycle to the aorta. This is the breakdown of what happens when the heart pumps blood to your lungs, so when you need air to breath, this is the cycle completed and the more you run, the more oxygen you need and because of this your heart beats faster to pump blood faster.

Evaluation:
Table 2: Validity of the method (Was the investigation a Fair Test?) If you were not able to control any of the control variables you listed above, how did any change in that variable affect your data?

Control variable Did this cause an Degree of impact Improvement (how to x that was not increase or (small, medium or the problem) controlled: decrease in the large): dependent variable?: Small 1The location of An increase Stay in the place I am where I was doing my test in doing my exercise
2 My resting heart An increase rate Medium Practice nding your pulse

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. a) Did the measuring instruments collect data that can be trusted? Yes/ No Yes I trust the timers that we were using because one of the timers we were using was on my Mac and I trust Apple Products and one of the timers we were using was from the school and I believe they were very accurate. Explanation (why / why not?)

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

Yes, I think that 5 trials is enough for conducting one test.

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

I think that the measuring instruments gave semi-precise data because most of my trials were different except for the 2 and 3 trial in the 1st test. But other than that I think that information was pretty precise.

Size of sample. d) Was the range large enough? Why/ Why not? I think that the range was large enough because I went from running for 1 minute to 2 minutes to 3 minutes. Every time I conducted a new exercise my average heart rate went up and on the graph the lines werent very at.

Yes/ No

Were there any surprising results? What were they?

I think that the most surprising results were when I went from my resting heart rate to my average for the rst exercise. I think that they were the most surprising because I guess I wasnt really thinking about how much my heart rate could increase just by running for a minute.
