Question

1.How would you differentiate your heart rate before and after exercising?

Answer 1

Your heart rate before exercising would probably be the at rest rate of say about 50-60 beats per minute whereas immediately after exercise it could easily be say 115-130 and depending on age there is an optimum heart rate for each age range which decreases somewhat with age. Timing for a full minute your heart rate is best as it will give the actual count whereas if you just do it for 10 seconds and then multply by 6  it would assume it will be consistent whereas it could decrease during the minute so the actual measured count for a full minute is more accurate.

Answer 2

Answer 1: You can differentiate your heart rate before and after exercise by taking your pulse.

Explanation:

In order to find the pulse rate, place your index and middle finger together at your wrist joint between the bone and also the connective tissue over your arterial blood vessel ,which is found on the thumb facet of your wrist joint. You would feel the pulse, then start counting the amount of beats in fifteen seconds. After that times it by 4 to get the pulse rate per minute.

Answer 2: The advantage of timing your pulse for a full minute is you get your pulse exactly beats per minutes vs an estimate.

Explanation:

Normally pulse rate is calculated for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4. But this case may lead to inaccuracy, as the pulse rate may vary over the time period of one minute. therefore, it is best to find the number of beats per minute instead of 15 seconds.
