exercise physiology lab write-up

this is a lab i did on exercise physiology.i am testing and measuring my pulse,respiration rate, and blood pressure according to normal,relaxed heartbeat,after doing 20 jumping jacks,after doing ten push ups, and after doing ten sit-ups.i have to say though, doing the same thing five times means 100 jumping jacks,50 push-ups,and50 sit-ups.I'm tired.

my hypothesis was that all of my ratings would rise after doing each vigorous exercise.

using the blood pressure monitor

me doing jumping jacks sit-ups

push-ups







my hypothesis was indeed accurate, as i found out that push-ups require the most work for me.sit-ups were second and the 20+20+20+20+20 jumping jacks were interestingly last...


after i did all this work i found out i was using an adult's blood pressure monitor and i may have adjusted it too tight or loose at times, sooo, in case any of the results look a bit kooky...


conclusion: all the active exercises raise your different metabolic stats.
