An Experiment to measure the relationship between HR and Exercise for a progressive, incremental, submaximal bout of exercise on a treadmill ergometer that elicits steady state heart rate responses for most subjects.
An investigation was carried out to see what the effect of progressive, incremental, submaximal exercise was on the heart rate of four subjects. ... (Appendix 1)
Subject A Subject B Subject C Subject D
Sex: Female Sex: Female Sex: Female Sex: Male
Age: 19 yrs Age: 19 yrs Age: 18 yrs Age: 23 yrs
Max HR: 201 BPM Max HR: 201 BPM Max HR: 202 BPM Max HR: 197 BPM
80% HR: 160 BPM 80% HR: 160 BPM 80% HR: 161 BPM 80% HR: 157 BPM
After three weeks of preparation and testing of the various ergometers and test protocols we decided on the following:
Apparatus:
· HP Cosmos - Pulsar treadmill ergometer
· Standard Polar heart rate monitor
· Sportsline water tight stopwatch
Method:
1. ... The investigator increased the speed of the ergometer to 6km/hr
9. ... At 3 minutes the investigator increased the incline to 3% keeping the speed constant at 6km/hr. ... Every 2minutes 30 seconds from here on in, the investigator advised the subject of the increase in incline, before increasing the incline by 3% on the 3-minute mark, keeping the speed at 6km/hr. ... The subject continued until their submaximal heart rate was reached (80% of maximum)
17. Once the subject had reached their submaximal heart rate, the investigator reduced both the incline and the speed of the treadmill ergometer together. ...
Results: See results table - Appendix 2
Graphs: See Appendix 3 & 4
Analysis:
Understanding these physiological responses to exercise can help use in many ways from training, coaching and the instruction of athletes to the understanding, control and management of our body to a certain extent and the bodies’ level of response and resilience in specific situations.
