How does different speeds of running affect heart rate?
Procedure Plan – Scientific Method Based Projects
Problem Statement:
How do different speeds of running affect heart rate?
Hypothesis
If you run faster your heart rate will go down.
Variables
Independent Variable: Speeds of running
Dependent Variable: Heart rate
Control variables: Where I take my people to run, what day they run, the people I use,
what I use to measure the heart rate, if they stretch or not, how much water they drink,
how much food they eat, how long they rest, how long I measure their heart rate
Location:
Schools field
Materials:
 Stop watch
 3 people

A track
Safety Precautions:
To make sure they stretch out, drink enough water, and eat enough
Detailed procedures:
1. Pick 3 people close to the same age
2. Find a local track
3. Stretch out
4. Set the stop watch to 0:00
5. Check heart rate when resting to see how much it raised or lowered
6. Have the first runner to walk
7. The first runner to run jog
8. The first runner sprint
9. Measure heart rate after each one
10. Record
11. Do the same for 2nd person
12. Do the same for 3rd person

Lud, dud…lud, dud, that’s what a healthy heart sounds like. A healthy heart has a
muscular wall, and sectioned in the middle and into the right and left heart. Alternating
contractions causes the heartbeat. Natural electrical pulses cause alternating contractions.
An average adult pumps 3.5 million gallons of blood and an average heart beats 72 times
per minute.
This article helps me with me science fair because I am testing how different
speeds that you run affects your heart rate. And this article showed me more about the
heart, so when I do my science fair I know what a heartbeat is, what is happening to the
heart, a

How does different speeds of running affect heart rate?
Athletes, mainly runners, have very low heart rates; it’s around 50 to 60 beats per
minute. While resting some can get as low as 25 beats per minute. Having a low heart
rate is not bad. It’s good. It means that the heart is pumping the same amount of blood but
with fewer heartbeats. The lower the heart rate makes the heart stronger and run faster.
Some heart rates can get too low and can cause coughing and fainting. If theses
symptoms are not happening so there are no worries.
This article and helped me understand how running might affect our heart rates
today. And what some worries can be if your heart rate is too low.
And what a normal heart rate is.

Staying hydrated it very important. If you don’t you can start getting dizzy, tired
and hot. Keeping hydrated means to drink a lot of water. When it is hot outside a
runner sweats, losing a quart of water every hour. The greater the air tempter and
humidity the runner looses less heat because she/he tends to run slower. When
you run make sure to drink lots of water so you stay healthy and hydrated.
This is helpful for my research because it helps me know if my helpers in
my project have drank enough water and if not what can happen.

Kieinman Mark. March 14, 200. “Nike Ties With Philips for “Smart Gear”
Athletes around the world know Nike and either like their shoes or their clothes.
Now Nike is teaming up with an electrical company called Philips, and together they are
going to make a very helpful product for athletes and people who like to get in their
exercise. It is a wristband or watch type product for your wrist. It will be able to help
people tell what their heart rate is and how much it is changing when you are walking or
running. This new product is helpful for athletes because when you’re running your heart
rate can change from resting to walking or running.
This article was helpful for my science fair research because of what I am testing.
Because it shows me that there are different products that can help me measure the heart
rate when resting and when running.

in your back may reduce the power to your legs causing the camps. Going too fast can
cause fatigue faster, so make sure you keep a good pace for long distances, and make sure
you stretch out.
This article was helpful by showing me it is very important to stretch before
running and to be careful how much water we drink before running. It also explained how
important it is to find a good pace when running.

Leg muscles are very important when running, like the hamstring, quad, and
glute. The quad is made up of four different muscles and the hamstring is made up of
three different muscles. Squats, lunges, and step-ups can strengthen these areas and if
twice a week could make you run faster and strengthen your legs in general.

This article helped me understand more about the leg muscles and which leg
muscles are used most when running. It also helped me understand how to better
strengthen the leg muscles.
Human subject projects: (For student that Highlighted their folder YELLOW and filled
