Factors That Affect the Pulse Rate After Exercise
Introduction: -
As humans we need the heart to pump blood all around the body in order
for us to live. We measure the rate of it, by measuring the pulse. We
can measure pulse either on the inside of your wrist or the both sides
of your neck. Pulse is taken in beats per minute usually, and
depending on how much it is, we can take information on how fit and
healthy you are.
Pulse rates can vary from 60 up wards to about a 180 (this is the
peak). In women the peak pulse rate is anything between 130-150,
whereas in men the peak pulse rate is anything between 160-180 beats
per minute.
The factors that affect pulse rates are activity, fitness, age, and
stress.
The more beats your heart as beat out the more pressure you exert on
your heart.
Aim: -
To discover and comment on what factors affect the pulse rates after
an activity (for example exercise).

Well I plan, first of all to record my pulse (resting pulse rate)
before the exercise. Then I will exercise for a minute. The exercise I
propose to do is to jog on the spot for one minute. I will make sure
it is a fair test by switching on an alarm for exact timing. Also I
will make sure I will exactly the same things in the experiment in
case, any addition or subtraction of clothes could affect the outcome
of the experiment. After one minute I will immediately check my pulse,
record it, then I shall wait for the pulse rate to reach the original
resting pulse rate and then record how long it took to do so.
I will repeat the experiment three times and record each experiment
for seven minutes (meaning seven blocks of data) and take the average.
The heart is an extraordinary structure that is the base of all human life. However, it similar to the uncomplicated functions of water pumps. As the heart beats, blood is distributed throughout the body using a network of blood vessels. The functions of the heart can be kept in regular and healthy conditions through exercise. Exercise has an effect on the blood that is circulating through the body. That circulating blood makes the heart desire more oxygen, causing the heart rate to increase rapidly to keep up with activity demand.
Currently, it is not possible to prescribe isometric exercise at an intensity that corresponds to given heart rates or systolic blood pressures1. This might be useful in optimizing the effects of isometric exercise training1. According to further study on this topic, linear relationships that have been discovered could be used to identify isometric exercise training intensities that correspond to precise heart rates or systolic blood pressures. Training performed in this way might provide greater insight into the underlying mechanisms for the cardiovascular adaptations that are known to occur as a result2. Studies have also shown a direct, strong, independent and continuous relation between blood pressure and cardiovascular mortality without any evidence of a threshold down to at least 115/75 mm Hg3. Further, it has been demonstrated that, as compared with optimal BP, normal and high-normal BP are associated with a higher incidence of CV disease3.
The heart, blood and blood vessels make up the cardiovascular system. The function of the cardiovascular system is to evenly distribute blood cells, water and nutrients. The cardiovascular system helps send blood to the body’s tissues. The heart is a muscle and the most important part of the cardiovascular system. Heart attacks, heart failure, and abnormal heart beat is a serious issue for the cardiovascular system these can sometimes lead to death. These diseases affect the heart and its functions (Heart and Cardiovascular disease 2005).
The cardiovascular system keeps blood circulating throughout our bodies constantly, and without it, many of the activities that we do would not be possible! The heart is the main organ of the cardiovascular system because it pumps the blood, and also a major organ of the human body because of how it is able to allow our bodies to work. Unfortunately, the heart may fail to function at times when blood flow is reduced as a result of blockage. This is more commonly known as a heart attack, or myocardial infarction. According to “Heart Disease Statistics,” approximately 715, 000 Americans suffer a heart attack every year . This deadly disorder of the heart can be diagnosed from symptoms, as well as from imaging and tests, and it is possible to
The physician’s notes indicated a temperature of 98 degrees F, an elevated heart rate and respiratory rate, and low blood pressure. When the amount of oxygen available for the heart is low, it puts pressure on the heart and causes the heart rates to increase. To compensate for the low amount of oxygen the respiratory rate also increases to enable the intake of more oxygen that is be available for the body.
You need your heart for all your body needs. It pumps about 2000 gallons of blood a day. It takes about 20 seconds for blood to reach
The heart serves as a powerful function in the human body through two main jobs. It pumps oxygen-rich blood throughout the body and “blood vessels called coronary arteries that carry oxygenated blood straight into the heart muscle” (Katzenstein and Pinã, 2). There are four chambers and valves inside the heart that “help regulate the flow of blood as it travels through the heart’s chambers and out to the lungs and body” (Katzenstein Pinã, 2). Within the heart there is the upper chamber known as the atrium (atria) and the lower chamber known as the ventricles. “The atrium receive blood from the lu...
Pause the beep test on your laptop after level 1 finishes. 7) Get timer ready to time 5 seconds after the level and another timer to measure 30 seconds. 8. 5 seconds after the beep goes, the subjects must measure their heart rate by placing their index and middle fingers under their right lower jaw and finding their pulse (move your fingers around a little to find the clearest pulse possible). Once you have found your pulse, count how many times you feel your pulse for 30 seconds and multiply that answer by 2 to give you beats per minute.
= The results that I have gathered from my experiment I have put into graph form. From my results I have found out that the more I exercise the longer I exercise the longer it takes for my pulse to return to normal, I think that I did not reach my potential maximum heart rate because the exercised was not strenuous enough for my body. I also discovered that when taking my pulse it takes a few seconds for the strong pulse to get back to the surface.
Investigating the Effect of Exercise on the Heart Rate Introduction For it's size the heart has the huge capacity of pumping large amounts of blood, in the average adult's heart beats 60 to 100 times a minute, pumps between 70ml and 100ml of blood with each beat, circulates 5 to 6 litres of blood around the body per minute and about 13 litres of blood per minute during vigorous exercise. The heart will beat more then 2.5 billion times during an average lifetime. This investigation will be looking at the effect of exercise on the heart rate. Aim The aim of this investigation is to find out how exercise affects the heart rate, using research & experimenting on changes and increases in the heart rate using exercise. Research â— The heart The normal heart is a strong, hardworking pump made of muscle tissue.
A normal heart rhythm begins at the sinoatrial node and follows the hearts conduction pathway without any problems. Typically the sinoatrial node fires between 60-100 times per minute (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2013). When a person has Atrial Fibrillation, the sinoatrial node releases multiple quick impulses at a rate of 350 -600 times per minute. When this happens, the ventricles respond by beating around 120- 200 beats per minute, making it tough to identify an accurate heart rate. This arrhythmia can be the result of various things. During a normal heart beat, the electrical impulse begins at the sinoatrial node and travels down the conduction pathway until the ventricles contract. Once that happe...

The human heart has two ventricles and two atria making up four chambers. The heart includes the atria and ventricles. The left atrium and the left ventricle make up the left side of the heart and the right atrium and right ventricle make up the right side of the heart. Each side is important but the left ventricle and left atrium is the most important, and I will tell you why. The left ventricle receives blood from the left atrium and pumps into the aorta. The aorta pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. If someone shot you in your left ventricle, you would most certainly die. That is why it is the most important. It pumps blood to the rest of your body. The right ventricle is important too. The right ventricle receives blood from the right atrium and pumps blood to the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery ha...
A person’s pulse is affected when they are engaged in a physical sport such as running. Runners pace themselves so they do not become overexerted. A person’s pulse is measured by the number of times a heart beats per minute. According to the LiveStrong Foundation, “the heart beats 60 to 100 times per minute when most people are at rest, but the resting heart rate is
