AT1 THE EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON THE HEART RATE Plan and Prediction: I will conduct an experiment accurately and suitably, which will give evidence to prove my prediction correct. Firstly I will carry out preliminary tests, which will tell me which exercise will raise the heart rate more and give the best results. The exercises I will test are: step-ups, skipping, sit-ups and jogging on the spot. To test these different exercises I will time each of the exercises for thirty seconds then measure the heart rate. I will repeat these preliminary tests to ensure the results will be fair. Unit of exercise Heart rate after 30 seconds of exercise (bpm) 1 2 3 AVERAGE Jogging 116 120 124 120 Sit-ups 88 100 112 100 Skipping 136 112 96 115 Step-ups 84 92 80 85 These preliminary tests showed that jogging increased the heart rate the most and as long as it is kept at a constant pace the results should be accurate. This is the exercise I have chosen to do for the experiment. I will measure the resting heart rate...
