If I want to see which exercise effect's heart rate the most,what would be the best amount of time to do the exercise?.I would personally do the exercise for 3 minutes but if there is a different amount what would it be?

Hi Bobby,

I think 3 minute sounds reasonable but if you think there might be a difference, you can always use yourself as a subject to test a few different times before settling on one for your experiment. Just make sure your heart rate returns to its resting state in between starting each bit of exercise!

Does standing effect your beats per minute?

Hi Bobby,

Your question sounds like a good place for an experiment. Have someone sit quietly and measure their heart rate. Check it a couple of times over several minutes until it is steady. If you have a FitBit or other kind of wearable pulse monitor, use that because it is easy and accurate. Then, have the person stand up and immediately check the pulse and keep doing it until it stops changing. Did you predict that the pulse rate would change when the person stood up? Why would you think that?

If you are interested in doing a project about heart rate changes, here's some ideas: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... heart+rate

Hello. Please keep all questions for your topic on one thread, so that our experts can best help you based on what has already been discussed.

Your most recent question sounds like an excellent question for an experiment, so we can't answer that for you! Do you have additional questions as to how to set up your experiment?

Hi All
I am trying to create a data model that will predict recovery for people that exercise a certain time. My inputs would be TIME, HEART RATE ZONES, MAX HR...However I am struggling to know proper output. Meaning, recommendations based on your bodies response. Any suggestions?

Hello,

When you say recovery time, do you mean time to get back to a resting heart rate? Your output for your model would be recovery time itself, and your inputs for your model could be the variables you outlined earlier: time working out, maximum heart rate, etc. Additional variables you could consider also include age and fitness level.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Best,
Pharma
