HEART ATTACKBY: BRAD

Question

Does your heart work harder training mechanically or non-mechanically after one minute of exercise?

HypothesisMy hypothesis is the pulse rate will increase more by exercising one minute on the elliptical compared to one minute running.

Experiment

Materials needed:• camera• elliptical • running space• stethoscope • 1 person to run• 1 person to take pictures• 1 person to take pulse• a timer

Day 1(elliptical):

Colin’s original pulse: 70

Colin’s pulse after the elliptical for one minute: 97

Total amount that Colin’s pulse went up: 27

Day 2(running):

Colin’s original pulse: 97

Colin’s pulse after running for one minute: 116Total amount that Colin’s pulse went up: 19

Day 3 (elliptical):

• Colin’s original pulse: 83

•Colin’s pulse after the elliptical for one minute: 103

•Total amount that Colin’s pulse went up: 20

Day 4(running):

•Colin’s original pulse: 85

•Colin’s pulse after running for one minute: 107

•Total amount that Colin’s pulse went up: 22

Results

Day 1: 27Day2: 19Day 3: 20Day 4: 22

Average for elliptical 76.5 to 100

Average for running 91 to 111Elliptical: 23.5 change of pulseRunning: 20 change of pulse

Conclusion

Based on my results, my conclusion is that after one minute of exercise your pulse will increase more when training mechanically verses non-mechanically.
