The Effect of Exercise on Pulse Rate What is a Pulse In Physiology, a pulse is where there is a recurring opening out of the biggest blood vessels (Arteries). This is a consequence of a coherent flow of blood being propel around the body. The muscle that is responsible for this surge of blood is the Heart. I know that by taking 220 and subtracting your age you can find your maximum pulse rate, because your muscles rely on oxygen it is important that I understand how oxygen is transported
Hypothesis During a period of exercise pulse rate will increase. Plan I will need only a stopwatch and no other apparatus for my experiment. I will rest for five minutes and then take my resting pulse rate and record it. I will rest to make sure that it is fair and that my pulse has not been raised by anything. I will then do step up exercises for five minutes on a 10cm step and rest for five minutes after that. I will take my pulse every minute during the exercise and every minute
tired and causes muscle cramp. So, anaerobic respiration is best used for short, strenuous activities. The equation looks like this: Glucose àEnergy + Lactic Acid Pulse rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute. It is caused by a stretching of the arteries that takes place after each heartbeat. Pulse rate is caused by the actual impact of blood on the arteries. Method In this experiment I am hoping to prove that when using anaerobic
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
blushing more apparent. But this is not, in fact, the case. Some people blush more than others do and some families blush more than others do (2). Some attribute blushing to social phobia, though it differs in that it is not accompanied by a change in pulse rate or blood pressure (1). Blushing is generally thought to be a response to embarrassment, but is the emotion that triggers blushing as broad and general as "embarrassed"? Or are there more nuances to the emotional cause of what Darwin termed "the
Investigation Task: Level of caffeine to affect pulse rate while performing physical activities on 15-16 year olds. Research Question: How does the volume of a particular energy drink – Red Bull affect one’s pulse rate? Background Information: The level of hormones can change a cell’s activity by binding to specific hormone receptors which can activate proteins within the cell, which will then go on to activate other enzymes that direct the cell’s function. Caffeine is a methylxanthine which
increases while the cardiac rate decreases. It also causes the appearance of “ectopic pacemakers in the ventricles, producing abnormal rhythms” (Fox). Digitalis’ affect on the heart is very similar to that of calcium. It inhibits the sodium-potassium pump activated by ATP that promotes the uptake of extracellular calcium by the heart. This in return strengthens myocardial contraction (Springhouse). Pilocarpine on the other hand acts to decrease the heart rate. It achieves this by assisting
question that was tested for this Heart Rate Lab was how might caffeine affect people’s heart rate. Caffeine is supposed to affect our nervous system and brain by buzzing them. We decided to include caffeine in our lab by having one out of 2 groups of 5 people drink caffeinated soda .Then, participants completed two activities, taking their pulses after each event. The second group (B) did everything just as group A, except drink any soda. Our hopes were that pulse rates would raise higher with caffeine
respiratory rate, pulse, and blood pressure changed when sitting, standing, and being in supine position. When looking at the three different positions, there was not a big difference when measuring my respiratory rate. My respiratory from lowest to highest is in the order of supine (11 BPM), standing (12 BPM), and lastly sitting (14 BPM). When looking at my pulse, there was quite a difference in the measurement. I had a lower pulse rate in the supine position, which is 80 bpm. My sitting pulse rate was
commonly called the arterial or peripheral pulse. The pulse weather regular, irregular, thready or strong, gives a good overall picture of the clients health status. Several characteristics should be assessed when measuring the radial pulse rate, rhythm, amplitude, contour and elasticity of the various characteristics. amplitude can be quantified as follows 1 thready or weak 2 normal 3bounding If abnormalities are noted during assessment of the radial pulse further assessment should be performed for
Overtraining In this paper I will be looking at an article called The Over Training Syndrome, which was written in 1994. I will be comparing the information in the article with the content from the week 6 Qualifying Sports Training lecture. This will be done by directly quoting the article, then the lecture and having a short discussion on the quoted point. The four areas of comparison will be; the definition of overtraining, the cause of overtraining, the effects of over training, and the recovery
Monitoring The appropriate selection of the specific physiologic parameters that should be monitored during the MRI procedure is vital for patient safety. They consist of MRI safe Pulse oximeter, Electrocardiograph and respiratory bellows or pneumatic capsules. This physiologic parameter is measured using pulse oximetry, a monitoring technique that measures the oxygenation of tissue. Due to which oxygen saturated blood absorbs differing quantities of light compared with unsaturated blood, the amount
before & after Exercise Plan &Aim Topics Under Investigation The Experiment Analysis & Evaluation Conclusion Plan & Aim The plan and aim of this project is to select a group of six people and record their blood pressure, temperature, pulse and respiration whilst at rest. When they return from a brisk walk I will then record the same observations and analyse, evaluate the results. With this information I will then draw my conclusions and make recommendations. Topics under Investigation
Analysis As seen in the processed data table, as the intensity of the exercise increases, so does the participant’s heart rate. The graph also supports this by demonstrating that the two variables have a close positive and linear relationship. The data points are close to the trendline which has a positive gradient of 0.3839. The r2 value of 0.9791 is very close to 1, meaning that it has a strong positive relationship. The value also shows that the two variables have a positive correlation in which
result in changes in blood pressure or pulse rate. In contrast, barrel chest characterizes a rounded chest where the ribs are elevated, separated more than normal, and have an almost completely horizontal slope (Smeltzer, Bare, & Hinkle, 2010). At the beginning of the gross examination, the patient should be comfortably seated on the edge of the bed to best visualize his or her thorax and breathing patterns. Visual inspection should first assess the respiratory rate, rhythm, depth, and effort, as well
Analysis of Performance - Netball Activity to be analysed: Netball Game (WA) Skills and Techniques Required: To play a sound game of Netball, you need a range of both attacking and defensive skills. There are many other aspects, which are required to ensure a good Netball player. For example agility. This is a very important component, as agility is needed in a variety of circumstances. A Netball player needs to be able to get free and receive a pass from their team member. To do
1999). This study investigates the physiological response of fear that is represented by blood pressure and heart rate. Fear is a natural emotion for humans and animals. Steimer (2002) suggest that the emotion of fear and anxiety to be an indicator that an animal or a human to be in threat, danger, or conflict. This

Pulse Investigation Aim My aim is to investigate one factor that affects pulse rate. I thought about this for a while and read a few medical books before deciding that I would investigate how physical activity can affect pulse rate and the recovery rate Prediction ---------- I predict increasing physical activity will make the pulse rate go higher because exercise increases the rate at which energy is needed from food. This increases the need for both food and oxygen in
Investigation Write Up Guiding Question Does the brightness of the environment affect a person’s heart rate while watching a jump-scare video? Introduction If a subject watches a jumpscare video in a dark or light environment, there will be no difference on the heart rate. The circulatory system is in charge of bringing oxygen to the rest of the body, including the heart. A person’s heart rate is correlated to homeostasis, where it is affected based on the environment a person is in. In a jumpscare
