Team Name: Super Awsomes
Lab Assignment #: 6
Lab Title: Cardiovascular Stress
Date: 2014-03-27
Purpose / Objective(s):



Purpose of Lab #4 is to stress out our cardiovascular (CV) system, while running in the parking lot for 5 minutes, and then come back into lab and
measure our results at specific time intervals against others in the class
Make correlations between resting and peak elevation of cardiovascular between myself and classmates
Observe existing trends and look at correlations between data
Hypothesis (ese):









Heart rate (BPM or beats per minute) to be measured at sitting, standing and lying down in a supine position, and the heart rate should increase
after aerobic exercise, and then theoretically decrease at longer time intervals (3 minutes, 6 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.)
Respiratory rate (RR or amount of breaths in and out per minute) to be measured at sitting, standing, and lying down in a supine position, and the
respiratory rate should increase after aerobic exercise, and then theoretically decrease at longer time intervals (3 minutes, 6 minutes, 10 minutes)
Blood Pressure (BP or systolic pressure over diastolic pressure) to be measured at sitting, standing and lying down in a supine position, and the
blood pressure should increase after aerobic exercise, and then theoretically decrease at longer time intervals (3 minutes, 6 minutes, 10 minutes)
Theoretically, older students in the class will have higher blood pressure, and probably higher heart rates, respiratory rates due to aging conditions
of their body
Theoretically, males will show lower BMI (Body Mass Index) than females as they have leaner bodies and less adipose (fat tissue) than females
Theoretically, males will show a higher average height than females as males tend to be taller
Theoretically, athletes in the class will show lower BP, lower HR, lower RR than other students
Theoretically, I will show as the highest rate of blood pressure as I am the oldest student at age 44
The older a student is, the higher the weight and total BMI(Body Mass Index)
Materials / Subjects / Specimens:



In our group, we were able to get data from classmates for 4 females and 3 males from our Biology 105 class
Data was entered for height, weight, age, and BMI for each person
Cardiovascular statistics that were acquired are, for example, in this table, for pre-exercise, post-exercise, and timed intervals after exercise

(Example)
Position:
Heart Rate (HR or beats per minute)
Blood Pressure (BP or systolic/diastolic
pressure)
Respiratory Rate (RR or breaths in and out
per minute)
Sitting
Standing Up
Laying down supinely
Methods / Tools / Instrumentation / Procedures:


HR: For heart rate, we utilized our fingers to press at either the inside of the wrist ulnar artery or in the neck at
the carotid artery to check for heart rate of beats per minute, and calculate time either on wall clock or an iPhone
using the stopwatch function, performed while sitting, standing, and laying supine, before and after aerobic
activity; normal adult rate is 60-100 BPM (beats per minute) http://www.hunterdonhealthcare.org/node/346
RR: For respiratory rate, one student in our group would breathe in and out and the other would watch the chest
inhaling and exhaling and counting repetitions and calculate time either on wall clock or an iPhone using the
stopwatch function; - performed while sitting, standing, and laying supine, before and after aerobic activity;
normal RR is 12-16 breaths/minute for adults

d_pressure_85,P00866/
 For blood pressure, in the lab we learned how to check pressure using a stethoscope and
sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff), and listening to hear systolic and diastolic
pressure and record our findings and calculate time either on wall clock or an iPhone
using the stopwatch function, performed while sitting, standing, and laying supine, before
and after aerobic activity. http://www.practicalclinicalskills.com/blood-pressuremeasurement.aspx High blood pressure is greater than 140/90 mmHg
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007490.htm
 For height, weight, and BMI, this information was calculated and entered on a person-byperson basis in MS Excel and emailed to fellow teammates

Analysis: Tables

Figure #1 shows my personal data from 3 decades in my life, at ages 18, 35, and 44. At age 18, my BMI was low at 22; I was finishing high school,
and was an athlete running cross country and track, and also doing competitive horseback riding, as well as swimming, biking, weight lifting and
working on the family ranch to stay in shape. My weight and BMI increased at age 35 to 28 after having two kids, and currently it’s at 31 at age 41.
Looking at this data, it is clear that my weight and BMI will continue to increase, putting me at risk for cardiovascular diseases and obesity-related
diseases such as diabetes, unless I begin a weight loss and workout curriculum.

Figure #2 shows my personal data for heart rate at 3 ages (18, 35, 44) and current respiratory rate (age 44). While my blood pressure was
fabulous at age 18, being 90/60, it is much higher now at 130/90 and I’m on blood pressure medication. It is advisable to lose weight and increase
cardiovascular exercise to reduce risk of heart disease.

Figure #3 shows my current statistics post aerobic activity for heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. As my body is older and in less
cardiovascular shape, it is showing a higher rate for all items measured.

Figure #4 shows more of my current statistics post aerobic activity for heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. As my body is older and in
less cardiovascular shape, it is showing a higher rate for all items measured. This data set also points to the risks of being overweight, high BMI
and lack of cardiovascular shape affecting heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rates.

Figure #5 shows the four females of our group with height, weight, age and BMI (Body Mass Index), totals and averages. The BMI averaged out to
25, with two females above that score (27 and 31) and two below (19 and 23). Ages varied from 19-44, with an average of 27. Weight average
was 158.

Figure #6 shows female data for the four of us, totals, and averages, for heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate while sitting, standing and
laying supine at rest or before cardiac stress. My resting heart rate was actually lowest here at 56, while my partners had rates in the 90’s; they
believe their heart rates had gone up after finishing lunch, walking from one classroom to another, setting up for lab, etc. My blood pressure was
higher than all other females at each point of testing in this table.

Figure #7 shows female data for the four of us, totals, and averages, for heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate after cardiac stress while
sitting, standing and laying supine immediately after and at a 3 minute recovery time. Nancy and I had a higher heart rate here (120 and 110) than
the other two younger girls (98 and 92). Nancy’s respiratory rate of 38 was actually higher than mine of 30 at the 3 minute post cardiac workout.

Figure #8 shows female data for the four of us, totals, and averages, for heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate after cardiac stress while
sitting, standing and laying supine at a 6 and 10 minute recovery time. At 6 minutes, my heart rate was actually lower than two females at 80, and
the 4th was close at 76. Nancy’s blood pressure was 136/78, close to mine at 138/70. At 10 minutes recovery, my respiratory rate and Nancy’s was
the same at 22, and Christina’s was close at 18.


Figure #9 shows the three males of our group with height, weight, age and BMI (Body Mass Index), totals and averages. The BMI averaged out to
24.42, with scores of 21, 24 and 27. Ages were closer than females, with ages18, 19, 20, and an average of 20. Weight average was 179, higher
than females at 158.

Figure #10 shows all male data for heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate while sitting, standing and laying supine at rest or before cardiac
stress. Males had a higher heart rate average resting while sitting, at 86, while the female data was at 87 average. Male blood pressure while
resting and sitting was an average of 120/70, a higher systole average and lower diastole average than the female of 115/79.

Figure #11 shows male data, totals, and averages for heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate after cardiac stress while sitting, standing and
laying supine immediately after and at a 3 minute recovery time. Blood pressure increased to an average of 134/67, and respiratory rate went from
18 average at resting to 20 after cardiac activity and 3 minutes after, compared to female RR was much higher at 32 and 28.

Figure #12 shows male data, totals, and averages, for heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate after cardiac stress while sitting, standing and
laying supine at a 6 and 10 minute recovery time. Respiratory rate average for males was slightly lower at 17 than 18 for females. Blood pressure
average was 116/66, very similar to female average of 118/66.

Figure #13 shows my personal data against mean males, mean females and all mean students for height, weight, age and BMI. I am shorter than
the average males of 72 inches or 6 feet tall (mine is 66 inches or 5’ 6” inches), and slightly higher than the female average of 65.25 inches. My
weight is higher than either mean males or females, and my BMI and age are also higher as well. Basically, all the students are younger, thinner,
and in much better shape than me!

Figure #14 shows my personal data against mean males, mean females and all mean students for heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate
before and after cardiac stress immediately after, and in 3, 6, 10 minute intervals. My resting heart rate while sitting of 56 was the only item lower
than males or females in the class. All other statistics were higher for me. Male and Female means had some similarities, such as having an
elevated heart rate of 105 average after aerobic activity, and blood pressure when resting and sitting. Respiratory rates supine were similar at 17
for males and 16.25 for females. Males tended to be taller, younger, and with lower BMIs than females.

Analysis: Graphs

Figure #1 shows a graph of heart rates of myself against means of males, females & students while resting, sitting, standing, supine, before &
after cardiac stress. While my heart rate was lower at rest before cardiac activity and at 10 minutes after stress than males or females, it was
highest right after cardiac activity at 120 BPM (Beats per Minute). Some of the females walked for 5 minutes or ran for 3. However, I did run for a
full 5 minutes and pushed my heart to a high rate. I’m not sure if it’s higher because of inconsistent testing or that I’m out of shape (more likely). It
would be interesting to see studies on heart rates and activities on current athletes and former athletes. As my heart had a lower heart rate at start
at end, was my previous athletic conditioning a good basis for my heart?

Figure #2 shows a graph of 3 males comparing heart rates before and after cardiac stress at 3, 6, & 10 minute intervals. Males 1 and 2 had a
similar pattern of low heart rates, then very high, then back to low. Male 3 had a much flatter heart rate, meaning his post cardiac workout time did
not result in a high heart rate like Male #1 and Male #2. The three males are close in age, weight and size. However, I don’t have data on if they
were walking, briskly walking, or jogging or running. Tighter controls would help. Also I do not know if they were athletes in high school or college
or are currently working out in a gym. More information would be needed to explain this difference.

Figure #3 shows a graph of 4 females comparing heart rates before and after cardiac stress at 3, 6, & 10 minute intervals. Two females had high
starting heart rates, end rates, and maximum heart rate immediately after cardiac activity was not very high. These two females reported that they
had come into the class with a higher heart rate after getting their books and bags after lunch, and only did the cardio of 3 minutes brisk walk not
running.

Figure #4 shows a graph of blood pressure of myself vs. males, females and all students, while at rest state for sitting, standing & supine. My
blood pressure was higher than both males and females. This can be explained by my much higher age, weight, BMI.

Figure #5 shows a graph of respiratory rates for three males before and after cardiac stress at time intervals of 3, 6, 10 minutes. Most clearly
follow a pattern of a low, to high, medium-high, medium. One male had the same respiratory rate drop after cardiac activity from resting; this
anomaly could be an issue with record keeping or transposed numbers. Again, controls here would help.

Figure #6 shows a graph of respiratory rates for four females before and after cardiac stress at time intervals of 3, 6, 10 minutes. Most followed the
pattern of a low, to high, medium-high, medium. One female did not have that high of a variation at rest versus peak activity; this anomaly could be
record keeping, or not a high enough cardiac activity to increase breathing rates.

Figure #7 shows a graph of my cardiac stress results vs. class males for age, BMI, heart rate resting, respiratory rate elevated, heart rate
elevated, blood pressure systolic elevated, blood pressure diastolic elevated. My age and BMI are higher than mean males and females. My heart
rate at resting is, however, slower than both males and females. My blood pressure systolic was higher than both mean males and females.
Diastolic pressure was only slightly higher, however, than male and female means.


Figure #8 shows a correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and heart rate elevated. Simply stated, as your BMI increases, your heart rate
(BPM or beats per minute) also increases. This theory was proven with data from 7 test subjects.

Figure #9 shows a correlation between total weight and heart rate elevated. As total weight goes up, heart rate also goes up, although not as
clearly a linear line as the relationship between BMI and heart rate elevated.

Figure #10 shows a correlation between respiratory rate elevated and blood pressure systole elevated. However, this is a much looser type of
correlation than either BMI or weight to heart rate.

Figure #11 shows my heart rate at three intervals: resting sitting, resting standing, and 10 minutes after aerobic activity. In this graph, my heart
goes from low to medium to high, showing the effects of cardiac activity on my heart rate.

Figure #12 should theoretically show a correlation between male weight and heart rate recovery after 10 minutes, that as weight increases, the
heart rate recovery would increase. The males were similar in size, weight and age, and did not show a good correlation. A larger sample would
be preferential with men of different ages, heights, weights, and BMI to test this theory.

Figure #13 should theoretically show a correlation between female weight and heart rate recovery after 10 minutes. With one more subject, and
more of a weight, height, and age variance, it should show a more linear line, however it does not, and has more scatter than a linear pattern. I
would like to see a larger sample pool to test out this theory.

Figure #14 should theoretically show a correlation between BMI and total age of all seven subjects. However, as there are 5 students at 18-21,
one at 29, and one at 44, it has more of a offset scatter plot than a true linear line. Again, a larger student sample would be needed with additional
students in their 30’s and 40’s to balance this data.

Observations/Conclusions / Further Considerations:
1. Heart Rates (BPM or beats per minute) usually do follow a pattern of having a low resting rate, a high elevated rate after cardiac activity, and then
that rate will be lower after interval periods of 3, 6, and 10 minutes. There can be, however, anomalies, with higher or lower subject data, which
could be possibly be caused by record keeping, inconsistent cardiac stress, or other factors.
2. Male subjects did tend to be taller and have lower BMI than the female pool. However, the female pool did have a female at 29 and 44 to possibly
skew the results.
3. Data, graphs and table show that as I have aged, my BMI has increased and my blood pressure has increased. It is advised to reduce my caloric
intake and increase my cardiovascular activity to increase my lifespan and reduce my risk of disease.
4. My heart rate at rest was actually lower than the other 6 students at 56. I was very athletic in my youth, active in cross country running, and lived
on a ranch, so I spent a lot of time working outside with animals and doing chores. It’s possible that those years of activity did help protect my
heart. However, my Anklyosing Spondylitis has a risk of some heart valve issues, so it is advisable to get into better shape and reduce my risks of
cardiac events.
5. Respiratory Rates (breaths in and out per minute) usually do follow a pattern, like heart rates, of having a low resting rate, a high elevated rate
after cardiac activity, and then lower rates after interval periods of 3, 6, 10 minutes. We seemed to have more differences between males and
females for respiratory rates. Again, consistent testing and good record keeping will help this and larger student subject samples.
6. Creating graphs based on correlations was new to me. Some theories showed data near a linear line, and some were quite scattered. BMI
correlating to Heart Rate showed a great correlation, with data close to the line. Other graph types, like comparisons of male weight and
respiratory rates, had a much different scatter pattern. The hypothesis could be incorrect or more data subjects would be needed to retest these
theories.
