Take your pulse and take the pulse of a friend, compare the results. Submit a brief written report of this information to your instructor, how and where you measured it.
I measured my pulse rate as 76 beats per minute, while my friend’s pulse was recorded as 82 bpm. Both of these pulse rates are within the target pulse rate. The average maximum pulse rate for an adult when resting is 100 bpm, but the rate can vary from minute to minute. The pulse rates were collected on a Saturday morning at the gym before beginning any physical exercises.
The most common physical factor that drives up the pulse rate is exercise or vigorous physical activities. During exercise, the body needs a greater supply of oxygen and energy, so the heart has to beat more times to increase the amount of blood that the body needs during physical activity.
The difference between 76 and 82 bpm is small and within the normal range of 60-100 bpm, but further checks on whether the pulse rates are regular can offer insights on whether there is a need for medical attention. Generally, people who exercise regularly have a lower rate pulse and heart rate but if one is not is or doing any intensive physical activity the frequency is slower than the time they are exercising. This is not a surprise as...
