People’s anxiety levels will be tested through their heart rates. The resting heart rate of 30 people will be taken, and then the test group will be split in half. The first 15 subjects are going to be told that they are going to watch a scary video. And for the last 15 we will not tell the subjects anything that will happen in the video. A series of health questions that have nothing to do with our project will be asked. The goal of this project is to record any changes in heart rate, due to anxiety, anticipation, and being caught unawares.
Anxiety is fear. It is a psychological problem that starts in the brain, when humans see that people are looking at them, and they start to get think that they are being judged. It is

The reason it is believed the experiment will turn out this way is they will have a majority of the video to anticipate when what is going to happen, so their heart rate will gradually increase before they see the frightening part of the video, at which point their blood pressure and heart rate should spike suddenly. It will also be taken into account how easily somebody gets frightened. That will play an important role in how much the data changes. For the lab, 30 people have been chosen as the test subjects. The people were chosen at random; there was no equation used in choosing who was picked for the lab. The subjects were split into two groups; one would be told that they are going to see a video that will give them good feelings, and then negatives ones suddenly, and the other group would only be told that they are going to see a video, no details. Their resting heart rate Was taken, and recorded it on a table, and then had them watch the video they were randomly assigned to. Immediately after they had finished the video, their heart rates were tested again, and recorded any changes in their diastole, systole, and their pulse. Each of the test subjects was tested separately, and away from other distractions. The variables in this procedure are whether or not the person is a dog or a cat
Anxiety has both mental and physical effects, it is our internal alarm system to put our mind on a physical alert and prepares for us a "fight or flight response". This alarm can go away when we know that everything is okay and there is no danger nearby or nothing is going to happen but sometimes our alarm will not shut off and then an anxiety problem persists. There are different types of anxiety disorders and I will discuss generalized anxiety disorder
Throughout the test the same people took the measurements each time and the same person was doing the step test. The height of the step, the length of the exercise time and the pace of the stepping were all kept monitored so they kept the same and there were no changes to the subject. For results to be valid it must be possible to replicate them and this experiment has been carried out many times before and so the results expected have been explained many times over. If the results do not replicate the expected results, then they may not be valid and effective to use in the investigation.
Once the patient was correctly hooked up to the EKG the BIOPAC Student Lab Program was started. Lesson five is the one we used for this experiment and once it had been chosen we label it and started the experiment. There were four conditions we needed to measure; the first being lying down. The subject was lying down relaxing on the cot. We clicked record and let it run for 20 seconds. The data resembled the chart below. If it did not we would have had to repeat the steps until it did.
8) Make a graph of heart rate and breathing rate (please put both sets of data on the same graph) versus time after exercise. (from lab paper)
I will have two groups both containing 5 people, in total 10 people all are males, one group contains people who practice an aerobic exercise on a daily-basis (soccer and basketball), while the other group contains people who do not practice an
Title of experiment: Does the amount of time you are scared affect your blood pressure?
How will someones Heart rate change during clips of a scary movie v.s. A different and more cheerful movie?
Being knowledgeable about the heart is very important, especially if one is an athlete. This experiment is significant, because it can tell us how important it is for one to keep their heart healthy. It will also tell us how playing a sport can benefit one’s health and the well being of their heart. Our hypothesis says, if the athleticism of a person increases, then the heart rate recovery time will decrease when heart rate recovery in a function of athleticism. The purpose of this project is to see which type of athlete, or non-athlete has the best heart function.
This experiment was carried out as noted about in Procedure 1. The resting heart rate was established and used as a baseline value from which to compare all future deviations. While data could
The purpose of the experiment is to see how different variables affect pulse rate and blood pressure.
Anxiety can be a very serious (disease/disorder) it is simply defined as an abnormal fear or tension which can occur without any obvious trigger or session; a recurrence, unwelcome and intrusive thought. Anxiety can also be defined as a subjective state of fear or tension. There are two types of anxiety, anxiety can provide signals that alert the body to trigger it to improve mental and physical performance

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps some one deal with a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, keep focused on an important speech. In general, it helps some one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder.
Anxiety is losing yourself from reality and being disconnected from the present moment,other people, and yourself. It can keep you from doing things you want to accomplish in life. Achieving your goals is tough enough, but if you suffer from anxiety it becomes even more difficult. I was spending every day worried about how
