To collect data on heart rate and exercise, you can create a structured table format. Below is an example template to guide your data collection related to resting heart rate, two different types of exercises, their durations, and heart rates after the exercises.
| Participant ID | Resting Heart Rate (bpm) | Type of Exercise 1 | Duration of Exercise 1 (minutes) | Heart Rate after Exercise 1 (bpm) | Type of Exercise 2 | Duration of Exercise 2 (minutes) | Heart Rate after Exercise 2 (bpm) | |----------------|---------------------------|---------------------|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| | 1 | | | | | | | | | 2 | | | | | | | | | 3 | | | | | | | | | 4 | | | | | | | | | 5 | | | | | | | |
Instructions for Data Collection:
-
Resting Heart Rate (bpm): Measure the heart rate when the participant is at complete rest for several minutes. Record the average.
-
Type of Exercise 1: Indicate the first type of exercise (e.g., running, cycling, etc.).
-
Duration of Exercise 1: Record how long the participant engaged in this first exercise.
-
Heart Rate after Exercise 1 (bpm): Measure the heart rate immediately after completing the first exercise.
-
Type of Exercise 2: Indicate a second type of exercise that the participant performs.
-
Duration of Exercise 2: Record how long the participant engaged in the second exercise.
-
Heart Rate after Exercise 2 (bpm): Measure and record the heart rate immediately after completing the second exercise.
Notes:
- Ensure that the environment is consistent for accurate comparisons.
- Allow adequate recovery time between exercises if needed.
- This format can be replicated for more participants as necessary.
