It is time for vacation . An idea for doing science , while having a good time , is to study the recovery time of the heart rate . One may have the chance of being an athlete for a day .
The science project that I have in mind requires little effort from the volunteers . A few minutes are needed to fill in information regarding the physical activity . Then an e - mail is received with the location and time when the science project takes place . On the day of the event the person jogs on a park route for a few minutes . The heart rate is measured immediately after the exercise has finished , and after one and two minutes . The event is finished with refreshments .
From the technical point of view , the data is processed based on two equations :
- The maximum heart rate is 220 ( beats per minute ) minus percentage the age of the runner ;
- The target heart rate zone is 50 - 85 % of the maximum heart rate .
Would you like to participate in this activity , then fill in the form .
