Investigating the Effect of Increasing Exercise Intensity on Heart Rate
The aim of this investigation was to study the effect of the different intensities related to exercise on your heart rate and to assess the results. The method; firstly we calculated our resting heart rate manually using the first 2 fingers on our right/left hand and placed them on our wrist, next, we walked on a treadmill for 1 minute at 1.0km/hr. After walking on the treadmill for 1 minute, we use the heart rate monitors on the treadmill to take our pulse, using this data, we recorded it on the table provided. Then, we wait until our heart rate returned back to the resting rate, after resting we repeated the method by increasing the speed on the treadmill each time to, 4.0km/hr, 7.0km/hr, and 10.0km/hr.
Respiration is the process in which that the body uses to release energy from digested food (glucose). The process is as follows; Glucose (from the digestive system) + Oxygen (from the respiratory system) Carbon Dioxide (waste product exhaled) + Water (waste product exhaled) + Energy (which is useful). This type of respiration is known as Aerobic respiration, as it energy which is released with oxygen.
Heart rate is the number of heartbeats per unit of time, it is usually written as beats per minute (bpm). Heart rates can vary, as it is due to the oxygen levels changing, such as while exercising. Heart rate can be measured in many places in the body, such as the wrist or the neck.
