Title: Respiration

Aim: To investigate how pulse rate changes with exercise.

Skill: ORR

Apparatus: Stop clock

Method: 1. Take your pulse at rest (for 1 min.)

2. Repeat this twice. Record results in a table
3. Calculate the average pulse rate at rest.
4. Do jumping Jacks for 2 minutes. Then immediately check your pulse rate at
one-minute intervals until it returns to normal. Record this in a table
Results:
(i) Compare the pulse rate at rest with the pulse rate during exercise.
(ii) Plot a graph of time versus pulse rate after exercise.
Discussion:
(iii) In your discussion explain:
- What is a pulse?
- The effect of exercise on pulse rate.
- Why did a change in pulse rate increase during exercise and
remained high immediately after exercise?
Reflection:
What you learned?
How does this affect society?
Improvements or changes that could be made to the experiment

Conclusion:

Time (mins) Pulse at rest Jumping jacks

1 78 bpm 127 bpm
2 82 bpm 119 bpm
3 76 bpm 92 bpm
4 85 bpm
5 75 bpm
Average 78.66 bpm
