"The objective of this lab measures body metabolic mechanisms in response to different levels of exercise: pulse, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature (internal and external) and sweat."
Our level three science class went into many different groups of about 4 people. Each group had to do three different activities, a "nap" (laying down and closing your eyes to feel relaxed), a normal level of activity (walking, nothing that will leave you breathless) and an intense activity (something that can challenge you, running up and down stairs for example.) One member did each of these activities or a different person per activity. after each activity that lasted about 5 minutes each, the other members of the group would observe the respiration, the pulse/heart rate, the internal temperature (in the mouth), the external temperature (under the arm pit), the B.P systolic and B.P diastolic measurements.
Our group thought that each measurement would increase within each activity because the activity would be more intense so every measurement would increase with the activity. Our Hypothesis was right, each activity, being more intense, had a higher respiration rate, pulse/ heart rate, B.P systolic and B.P diastolic measurements all increased with the intensity but the internal and external temperature mostly stayed the same.
