1.
Does your data indicate a normal resting heart rate, tachycardia or bradycardia?
(1 pt)
Your
answer should include the normal range of physiological values and reasons for your diagnosis.
A normal resting heart rate ranges between 60-100 beats per minute. My heart rate fell within this range, leading me to diagnose myself with a normal resting heart rate. 2.
Compare your measured resting heart rate with other people in the room. Is the heart rate the same for each individual? Why or why not? (1 pt) Use criteria such as physical condition, weight, and age in your explanation.
No, each persons recorded resting heart rate is unique and individualized. This is for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons
could be cardiovascular fitness/health. A stronger and healthier heart means more efficient blood pumping. Genetics also play a role, each person has a different gene set, and can lead to increased or decreased heart performance. Weight can also play a role, heavier subjects usually have a higher heart rate due to the increased blood flow required as they have more “tissue” on their frame, even when resting. These are just a select few of the many many different reasons resting heart rates are different from person to person. Exercise 2. Fill in the following table (2 pts).
