Biology coursework Introduction For my investigation I am going to look at the effect exercise on pulse rate and respiration rates. For my investigation, I have decided to look at the effects of a running exercise. Before commencing the experiment safety measures need to be considered: * Suitable footwear - e.g. training shoes, these are to protect the feet and provide a non-slip environment on the steps. * Suitable clothing - e.g. shorts and t-shirt, these are to provide comfort At the time of the experiment I am ensuring the participant is fit and healthy and that warm up exercises are carried out prior exertion. In considering variations to the experiment walking and running will be compared over different intervals. Prediction From my scientific knowledge I predict that the rate of respiration will increase as a result of exercise. I think that there will be a gradual increase to begin with, but as the body has to work harder...
