Prior to the
experiment
participants were
asked to confirm if
they hard done
any exercise or
taken any
stimulants.
Participant 2 had
had a coffee 1.5
hrs previous to the
test starting. All
participants had
different resting
heart and
ventilation rates
despite having
selected
participants who
had normal BMI
and were not
professional
athletes. This
should not affect
the data as the
change in these
rates is what is o
be considered.
Following exercise
it was evident that
all participants
were breathing
more regularly
and more deeply
when they
completed the
longer periods of
exercise.
Some participants
appeared flushed
following exercise.
In particular
participants 1, 2
and 4. Participants
also felt selfconscious when
having their
ventilation rate
measured and said
they felt
themselves trying
to control their
breathing. This
may have affected
the results.

Heart rate and ventilation rates have been plotted on separate graphs when shown with error bars of STDEV. This is
because the error bars overlappped so much between the data point of heart rate and ventilation rate it made it
difficult to analyse.

Its unconventional to have the data plotted on separate graphs.
But it was necessary in this instance or else the error bars would
not be visible. I have therefore justified my actions here

Heart rate and ventilation rates have been plotted on separate graphs when shown with error bars of STDEV. This is
because the error bars overlapped so much between the data point of heart rate and ventilation rate it made it

Graphs are clear, large and dont break across

appropriate.
