    The purpose of this experiment was to gather data on how the amount of time spent active impacts the speed of heart rate in beats per minute. The hypothesis stated that if the amount of time active is lengthened then the speed of the heart rate is expected to rise because when one is active, the cells of the body are using the oxygen quickly. The heart then needs to speed up in order to maintain homeostasis by rapidly providing oxygen to the working cells. The hypothesis is accepted because the data

    Effects on Heart Rate Lab When you exercise it increases the amount of energy your body needs which increases the amount of oxygen your body needs as well. A person's breathing speeds up to get more oxygen into the body and to get rid of carbon dioxide when they exercise, so their heart rate increases (The effect of exercise on pulse and breathing rate, 2014). Your heart then expands from blood being pumped out of the heart (The effect of exercise on pulse and breathing rate, 2014). Like all muscles

    system include the heart and blood vessels. The heart beats in order to pump blood to the vessels which are responsible for circulating it to cell tissue throughout the body. During the homeostasis process, the circulatory system provides oxygen and nutrients to the cell while removing waste products from the tissue fluid such as carbon dioxide within the lungs. This process is required for cell function. Each beat of the heart is referred to as the cardiac cycle. When the heart beats, the atria contract

    Heart Rate Investigation Aim: To discover if there is any link between the amount of exercise taken to the rise of a persons heart rate. Prediction: I predict that as the amount of time you exercise goes up so will your heart rate. But after a certain amount of time your heart rates rate of increase will slow down and eventually level out and stay the same, until you slow down or stop exercising. This is because the more you exercise the more energy your body will need. Oxygen

  • Effects Of Body Position On Heart Rate
