Hello leon.hu,

I am assuming you are asking about how people of different age groups' pulse performs when it comes to active sports play.

Very good question, when it come's to measuring the correlation between age and pulse, you must take a couple of factors into consideration. Generally, it is safe to conclude that people of younger age often have a lower pulse because their heart does not have to work as hard. But this does not mean that a person in their 40s has a higher pulse than someone in their 30s. Factors to take into consideration are the subject's current amount of fitness, any possible substances that could affect heart/breathing rates, and also health history.

I would suggest creating a statistical analysis for your project that would contrast people's pulse after running a certain amount of time (you can also do other sports). Just try asking your friends, teachers, and even relatives to participate in your project (the more people the better). You should run this experiment multiple times to see if there is indeed a difference in heart pulse with different age groups.

But as far as search engines go, I haven't found any pertinent websites that would serve to be beneficial toward your research. I'll keep my eyes open though.
Goodluck!

If you have any further questions, please ask! We're here to help! :D
