The Effects Of Doing Jumping Jacks and the Your Pulse Reacting
Introduction
The heart is a curial organ that must respond to the demands for nutrients and oxygen that
are needed by the body’s cells while doing an exercise like running, jogging, sports, bench press,
and all other kinds of exercises that make you tired or also make your heart pulse go up. Gas
exchanges and the nervous system react. Gas exchange is so critical to the body that it is an
autonomic function regulated by the medulla and puns in the brain stem. As you become more
active, CO2 levels increases and the blood becomes more acidic. Sensors in the respiratory and
circulatory systems signal this change to the brain stem. The medulla sends messages through the
nervous and endocrine systems that stimulate the diaphragm and rib cage muscles to work
harder. The medulla regulates how often and how deeply you breathe based on your activity and
what you are doing that reacts to your pulse.
The current scientific research behind the experiment is that while doing jumping jacks
your heart pulse goes up higher and you have a higher pulse. So we are seeing how athletes and
non athletes react with this experiment by testing it.
I am interested in finding your pulse while doing something else instead of jumping
jacks. Like do some other kind of experiment and see the effects of it and also the reactions of it.
The independent variable is to see what is changing while athletes and non athletes are doing one
hundred jumping jacks and their reaction of their pulses. Which persons pulse will react different
from the other persons? So it is athletes vs. non athletes.
My educated guess is that the athletes are going to have a low pulse and there heart is
going to be way calmer because they are athletes and exercise everyday and are also very active
while playing there sport that they play. So non athletes are going to have a supper high pulse it
is going to be pumping very faster than the athletes. The non athletes are going to be very tired
because they are not athletes and they are not active and do not do sports. So they are no used to
exercising. They are used to sitting down and watching TV. Doing nothing all day and being
bums. Last yes my hypothesis is testable you just have to get some athletes and some non
athletes to do one hundred jumping jacks and get there results at the end by seeing whose pulse is
higher.
The main part of the circulatory system is the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels. The
heart is a muscular pump, about the size of your fist that keeps the blood moving to every part of
the body. The blood circulates through a closed system that is, blood in the circulatory system
stays inside the vessels. Your blood circulates from your heart, throughout your body, and back
to your heart about every sixty seconds.
The circulatory system has three types of blood vessels, arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from the rest of the body back to the heart.
Arteries carry oxygen rich blood and veins carry oxygen poor blood. You can think of arteries
and veins as a system of roads. Large arteries and veins are like major highways. Smaller arteries
and veins are like streets the route traffic through local neighborhoods.
Arteries and veins are connected by a system of capillaries. Capillaries are tiny blood
vessels that transport blood to and from the cells of the body. These vessels are so small that
blood cells must move through them in single files. The walls of these tiny blood vessels are only
on cell thick and the materials can easily diffuse into and out of them.
The small intestine is a long, narrow tube in which most digestion takes place at. Smooth
muscles contractions churn the food, and chemical digestion further breaks down the complex
molecules.
The lining of the small intestine is ridged and folded. These structures increase the
surface area and slow the passage of material through the intestine. Slower motion allows more
time for nutrients to be absorbed. The folds of the lining are covered with villi. Villi are small
fingerlike projections, covered with epithelial cells that absorb nutrients.
The most basic carbohydrates are simple sugars, or monosaccharides. Many simple
sugars have either five or six carbon atoms. Fruits contain a six carbon sugar called fructose.
Glucose, one of the sugars made by plant cells during photosynthesis, is another six carbon
sugar. Simple sugars can be bonded to make larger carbohydrates. Two sugars bonded together
make a disaccharide you know as a table sugar.
The lungs are the organs the absorb O2 from the air you inhale. Inside the lungs, the
bronchi divide into smaller and smaller branches that resemble the limbs and twigs of a tree. The
smallest branches, the bronchioles, end in clusters of tiny air sacs called alveoli. Once air sac is
called an alveolus. The lungs have a huge number of alveoli from tree hundred to six million.
Every cell in your body needs nutrients and oxygen to function and needs to get rid of its
waste products. The circulatory system is the body system that transports blood and other
materials. The blood vessels of the circulatory system also keep oxygen poor blood from mixing
with oxygen rich blood. The respiratory system is the body system in which gas exchange takes
place. You can think of your respiratory system as a major supply depot where the blood can
pick up oxygen and deposit excess carbon dioxide. The lungs of the respiratory system are the
only place in your body where gases in the blood are exchanged with gases from the atmosphere.
The function of the respiratory system it to bring O2 into the body and to expel CO2 and
water vapor. The structures of this system bring the gases in close contact with the blood, which
absorbs CO2. The circulatory system then carries O2, to all of the body’s cells transports CO2
from the rest of the body to the lungs, where it is exhaled.
Research Question
“Why does non athletes pulse go higher than athletes while doing 100 jumping jacks or also
doing an exercise?”
Hypothesis
If you are exercising like doing 100 jumping jacks, then your pulse will pump up high and your
heart will start beating fast and pumping fast.
Variables
The athletes and non athletes were doing 100 jumping jacks so there pulse can change so that is
the dependent variable. By the athletes and non athletes doing jumping jacks there pulse is
changing it so it is the independent variable. Your heart rate is the control variable.

There pulse went up high, then went back down. I collected data of athletes and non athletes
resting pulses and there pulses after finishing their 100 jumping jacks.

Conclusion
Analyzing the Hypothesis
The hypothesis was supported because when doing one hundred jumping jacks and
jotting doing the data, your pulse is going to go up for sure, but put six athletes and another 6 non
athletes in this and see what happens. The six athletes came out with a good pulse because while
they were doing the one hundred jumping jacks, there pulse was getting high but while the pulse
coming to rest it went down to rest fast. Then it just stayed that way.
Then when the six non athletes did there one hundred jumping jacks, they could not even
do or finish all one hundred jumping jacks. While when the athletes were doing them like a piece
of cake and then them all without stopping. So the six non athletes pulse went up supper high,
then it took them a while to get back to their resting pulse.
Explaining the Data
Before jotting down and doing all the data work, we had to get six athletes and six other
non athletes. Then what happened was that all the athletes are in shape and got good data to jot
down and show people. There pulse went up high, but when checking their pulse fifteen times
every thirty seconds, there pulse went down very quickly because there in shape and there
athletes who run all the time and also play sports. That is why there called athletes. But then on
the other hand, the non athletes did one hundred with struggle doing them, and then checked
their pulses fifteen times every thirty seconds. There data was bad because there pulses took a
supper longer time to come back down to their normal resting pulse. Why? Because they are not
athletes and are not active and just sit down at home and do nothing just be bums. They do not
play sports or anything. So when they do one hundred jumping jacks it is difficult for them
because they are not used to it like athletes are. They are not used to it because they are not
athletes.
Lab Design Improvements
The thing that should be changed about the lap is to do some other kind of exercise or
like run. I think this will be better because you can really tell between athletes and non athletes
when running because if a non athlete runs they would not even be able to run so it shows that
they will of course have a supper high pulse in like less than five minutes of running.
This lab increased my knowledge because by knowing the pulses of athletes and non
athletes after they do one hundred jumping jacks and take data of their pulse every thirty seconds
and doing it fifteen times. It is in the category of biology because the actions of the pulses of
athletes and no athletes and it also have to deal with the body and how it reacts with active
people and non active people.
Where can we go from here? Well we can do all other kinds of experiments like from
which person from an athlete and a non athlete has a better education? That will be interesting
because what if you are not an athlete but you are a supper good nerd who is supper smart. Or
also what if you are an athlete and at the same time you are a supper smart person like nerd. Yes
you can be an athlete and be smart at the same time. That is good too.
We can also go from here is telling what other random people think about our experiment
to see if it is good and also see what their opinion about it is. I bet they will have a lot to say
about this.
