Lab 2: Heart Rate and Cardiovascular Health
Lab 2: Heart Rate and Cardiovascular Health
This lab has three parts:
1, Determine your resting heart rate
2. Compute your target heart rate range
3. Estimate your peak aerobic capacity after taking the Rockport One-Mile
Walk Test
Part 1:
Determine Your Resting Heart Rate
* Toke your pulse first thing in the morning before engaging in any activity. Because the resting
heart rate sa representation of the least number of beats required to sustain the bods, taking
‘Your pulse upon waking is the best ime to get an accurate reading.
* Place the index and middle fingers on ether side ofthe neck to find the carotid pulse, or on the
inside of the wrist to find the radial pulse. Do not use your thumb to take your pulse because
the thumb has a pulse ofits own which can make an accurate reading dificult.
‘* Count the beats for one minute using a clock or stopwatch.
+ Record the number f beats that you count a your resting heart rate:
‘Resting Heart Rate (RHR): IIYESIRI bpm (beats per minute)Part 2:
