Effect of Exercise on Heart Rate
Jonah, Gwen, David
Claim
Five different cardio exercises were conducted on the following, standing, walking leisurely, jogging/running, and jumping jacks and how they affect heart rate. There were two minutes in between each exercise for the recovery of heart rate.
Evidence
The more energy consuming the exercise is the higher heart rate will be. The different types of exercises done is the independent variable. The dependent variable is heart rate. The control for this experiment is a healthy, living, standing person. The constants were the rest time between each exercise, the same test subject, and all exercises were done outside on the track.
