Comparing The Resting Heart Rate and Recovery Time Of Males And Females After Physical Activity Devyn Jones 26 September 2014 Biology 140 Section 38 Dr. Maria Gainey Abstract In this study we tested to see whether or not males have a lower resting pulse rate and if males have a faster pulse recovery time after engaging in physical activity. The experiment groups are the males and females of the class. The experiment involves walking up and down a flight of stair s and recoding your pulse rate for a period of time. The average resting pulse for the males was 72 beats/min, and the average resting rate for females was 80. The average percent change was 35.7%, and the mean pulse recovery time is 4 minutes. The experiment only†¦show more content†¦The males entered their data in one chart, and the females did the same in another chart. The percent change from baseline, and the average recovery time was calculated. Results In the experiment, I compiled data of two test groups, males and females. According to the figure on the next page you can see that the males resting rate was lower than the females, however, as the experiment was concluded I observed that the female’s recovery rate was faster than the males. The average resting heart rate for males was 72beats/min and the females resting heart rate was 80beats/min. The average recovery time for males was 4 min, and female’s recovery time was 2 min. The mean percent change in pulse rate is 36.39%. (0*) -- Pulse taken immediately after the stepping test. Discussion This experiment displays the cardiovascular strength of both males and females. In my hypothesis I stated, males have a lower resting heart rate and a faster recovery time after physical activity when compared to females. However the results of the experiment only prove half of my hypothesis therefore, I can only state that males have a lower resting heart rate than females. The males average resting heart rate was 72 beats/min and the females resting heart rate was 80. However the females recovered faster than the males when returning to their resting pulse rates. The females averageShow MoreRelatedSex-Linked Traits Through Meiosis and How It Relates to Genetics.1609 Words   |  7 Pages|Principles of Biology | Copyright  © 2011, 2010, 2008 by University of Phoenix.

While students have the option of picking from a B.A. or a B.S., the focus of a B.S. in biology has more scientific purposes. Graduation requirements are difficult, but certainly not impossible, requiring 67-68 credits over 4 years. These credits include 36 biology credits, 16 chemistry credits, 8 math credits and 8 physics credits.

PART A: Stages of Mitosis in my own words. 1. Interphase: DNA has formed already, but it remains in the simple form of chromatin. Chromatins are structures that are loosely coiled in the cell.3 I also observed during my lab that this was the only stage where I could still see a nucleus and nucleolus intact within the cell; this is because it’s the only stage where the nuclear membrane hasRead MorePlagiarism And Academic Dishonesty Prevention Over Detection And Punishment1614 Words   |  7 Pagesproblems, as long as the students cite their collaborators. Explain why working together is not academically dishonest in this course. The computational biology course being interdisciplinary nature attracts students from biology, applied mathematics and computer science. Tackling a typical problem in this course would require basic knowledge of biology in order to understand the motivation behind the problem, mathematical skills (especially probability and numerical methods) and strong knowledge ofRead MoreEssay on Abstract 1 Finale1653 Words   |  7 Pagesï » ¿Abstract During this lab report our objective was to take a closer look at enzymes. As a group we analyzed the enzyme catecholase which catalyzes a reaction with the substrate. The substrate is called catechol which becomes a product of benzoquinone. Within two lab reports we focused on factors affecting reaction rate with enzymes. We also designed our own original experiment to examine enzymatic activity. Our experiment was to test different PH ranges on enzymatic reaction rate. We used the sameRead MoreEnzyme Lab Report Essay2194 Words   |  9 Pageshypothesis is accurate because it proved that enzyme lactase is specifically hydrolyzed lactose.

This experiment explored the extent of the A. franciscanas preference towards three major stimuli: light, temperature, and acidity. A. franciscana are able to endure extreme temperature ranges from 6 ÌŠ C to 40 ÌŠ C, however since their optimal temperatureRead MoreLab Repotrt Essay1656 Words   |  7 Pagescatfish and shrimp are the least related then their proteins will be least to identical.
