Assignment 4- Investigating the control of the cardiovascular system. For this assignment we were set the task of, monitoring our pulse rate and blood pressure of a chosen individual of our group at rest, during mild exercise and strenuous exercise. We took more than one reading for each task so we could calculate means. We used an electronic blood pressure machine which told us the pulse rate, the systolic and diastolic pressures of the blood. We also had a chance to monitor our heart rate with a stethoscope. For the exercise we did 2 minutes on an exercise bike for mild exercise and we did 5 minutes for our strenuous exercise. These were our results; Pulse rate Rest Mild exercise Strenuous exercise 1. 48 (BPM) 1. 94 (BPM) 1. 129 (BPM) 2. 79 (BPM) 2. 34 (BPM) 2. 57 (BPM) 3. 66 (BPM) average- 64 3. 70 (BPM) average- 66 3. 120 (BPM) average- 102 Blood pressure results (Highest number- systolic pressure and lowest number diastolic pressure) Rest Mild exercise Strenuous...
