Physical Education : Heart Rate Monitoring

Enhancing cardiac output allows you to maintain lower heart rates during physical activity. For example, at the start of a program you may have a heart rate of 150 beats per minute while running at a 6 mph pace. After three or more months of training increased cardiac output enables you to sustain the same running intensity at a lower heart rate such as 125 beats per

The purpose of arterial pressure and the pulse lab is to determine the effect of posture and exercise on systolic and diastolic pressure and the heart rate. And also in order to find the differences in the reading taken under these condition compares to the baseline reading. The Sphygmomanometer and stethoscope are used to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, counting the beat on the radial artery will give the reading for pulse rate and by using the lab scribe software and IWX214, the blood pressure will be measured. In the heart, the aorta and the carotid arteries have baroreceptors and the chemoreceptors that identify the changes in arterial pressure and the changes in

A heart rate monitor could have been used instead of the manual method, which would produce a more accurate result of the heart rate measurement. (http://www.topendsports.com/testing/heart-rate-measure.htm).

A beneficial effect of Fitbit is that it tracks any activity that is done, which lets the user know about their health and progress, if any, that is made (2). The odds of a Fitbit user caring about their general health are fairly high. With fitbit, the user knows what their heart rate is which can be helpful if a user has a heart condition in which they can not overexert themselves during an activity. Fitbit also lets the user know how well they sleep and how many hours that were slept (7). This useful information has an effect on society in which the user will have knowledge of their overall health and will know if they are unhealthy and/or have a possible abnormal heartbeat or rest period. With this information they will be able to talk to a doctor and get medical help if necessary. A harmful effect of Fitbit is that it could be inaccurate in providing the user with correct data. When someone buys any type of fitness tracker, accuracy is probably one of the top things on a list of musts this device must have. A study was conducted in which the Fitbit heart rate monitor was inaccurate by 20 beats per minute (5). People that have a heart condition can be negatively affected by this which could put their health at risk

Fitbit is a great wearable device that helps people maintain their health, and it works great as a fitness tracker. “Perhaps you have an autoimmune disease and have been required by your doctor to increase your level of fitness for health reasons. Thankfully, Fitbit is here to help you stay fit and help you with exercise” (5). Before Fitbit, you had to put big wires on your wrist and then exercise to be able to monitor your heart rate or to know how many calories you burnt during the day or work out. But now the monitoring occurs with a small wearable wrist device.

assessments for monitoring student learning during the lesson (e.g., pair share, use of individual whiteboards, quick quiz)

Complete recovery of the heart rate may take an hour after light activity, several hours after long-duration aerobic exercise, and perhaps 24 hours after intense exercise. One easy way to measure HRR is to measure the change in heart rate during the first minute after submaximal exercise: a drop in heart rate of 15-20 beats per minute might be typical and a value less than 12 would be unfavorable.

There are many useful ways to monitor progress to support learning and achievement by doing a checklist e.g. the teacher can do a checklist about what physical skills each individual child can do e.g. skipping, balancing and hopping etc. Observations can also be taken to monitor progress of each child or young person’s

The difference in technique is the ECG is an actual recording of the heart’s electrical activity. Adhesive electrodes are attached to the skin so that the machine can record the heart’s activity. There are 12 electrodes attached to different parts of the body; the chest, arms and legs. The instrument produces the readings on paper so it can be interpreted. This medical procedure

According to Gyroscope “Heart rate is a strong indicator of emotional state. Whether it’s watching a movie, playing poker, being interviewed, speaking in public, or breaking up with someone, your heart rate might betray your emotions more than your facial expressions.” and In 2013 the multimillion dollar making film franchise Insidious proved this by previewing the movie Insidious: Chapter 2. The movie trailer displays the audience's average heart rate and the audience's heart rate during climactic scenes. The next year the franchise released an almost identical advertisement for the next film in 2015 Insidious: Chapter 3. According to http://www.neurosciencemarketing.com “Neuromarketing is a new field of marketing which

The literature on the effects of exercise of cardiac output maintains the idea that exercise should affect cardiac output- pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, QRS-pulse lag, P-T and T-P intervals, because of increased heart rate. For our experiment, we tested this theory by measuring our cardiac output before and after some rigorous exercise. We measured the individual cardiac output and then combined the data to compose a class-wide data average. We compared the results of the experiment to what we expected, which was that exercise does affect our heart. Our data from this experiment supported the notion that exercise does, in fact, change cardiac output.

Press lightly until you feel a pulse (These instructions may also be demonstrated by the instructor for a visual aid), count the pulse for one minute using a watch or a clock with a second hand. The number you count is your heart rate. The normal heart rate for school age

The heart rate is a measurement of how many times the heart beats in a minute. Physically fit people tend to have a lower heart rate and during intense exercise tend to have lower rates as well. A decrease of heart rate at both rest and at fixed intensity of sub-maximal exercise [7] occurs a few months after an exercise program is begun. One’s heart rate reflects the amount of work the heart must do to meet an increase of demands of the body when engaged in activity. Heart Rate tends to increase proportionally with intensity oxygen uptake [16].

The controlled variable included the exercise bike and heart rate monitor. There are several limitations, systematic and random errors that should be considered when interpreting these results. (4) The controlled variables were not tested before this experiment to see if they were working and reliable. Figure 2 heart rate was quite inconsistent and did not follow the pattern of the other results, which maybe suggest a random error with the heat rate monitor. A systematic error could include the fitness of the participants. One of the test subjects is an endurance athlete and the other does not compete in any sport. This would affect the results because for the endurance-trained athlete, from their training they increase their cardiac output results from a substantial increase in maximal stroke volume. In untrained persons, cardiac output increases in response to exercise primarily by an increase in heart rate. The endurance-trained athlete does so mainly by an increase in stroke volume. Simply meaning that although both participants are doing the same cadence and length the endurance athletes skewers the results by already having an increased rate in stroke volume. Another systematic error may include the rate of perceived effort. For the most accurate results, the measured maximum heart rate would be necessary to give an accurate cadence to ride at.

The heart rates of participants was tested before the step test, one minute, two minutes, and three minutes after the step test was performed in this experiment. Since heart rate increases while someone is performing physical activity, it was expected that heart rates of the students would be higher than before the step
