Heart Rate & Exercise Intensity Lab - Digital Health & PE Activity

Get your students moving and thinking as they explore the function of heart rate and the cardiorespiratory system through this interactive and activity-based heart rate lab. This hands-on lab is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of heart rate and its importance in cardiovascular health.

Here's how the lab unfolds:

1. Calculate Maximum and Resting Heart Rate: Students will begin by practicing the calculation of their maximum heart rate and resting heart rate. This foundational step sets the stage for understanding heart rate zones and their significance.

2. Participate in Various Activities: Next, students will engage in a series of different activities that challenge their cardiovascular system. After each activity, they will take their heart rate measurements to observe how the heart responds to different levels of exertion.

3. Analyze and Compare Results: With heart rate data in hand, students will analyze and compare the effects of various activities on heart rate elevation. They will identify which activities prove most effective in building cardiovascular health.

4. Active Learning Assessment: This lab is not only informative but also serves as an active learning assessment. Students actively participate in the process, enhancing their understanding and critical thinking skills.

Through this heart rate lab, your students will gain a deeper appreciation for the cardiorespiratory system and how it adapts to different activities. It's an excellent opportunity for them to make real-world connections between physical activity and heart health.
