Question

A student went out to the school track and walked two laps, ran two laps, and then walked two more laps. On the grid below, draw a line that shows what most likely happened to the pulse rate of the student during these activities

Answer 1

During physical effort, more blood is needed, so more blood circulates through your body, meaning the pulse will get higher.

During the period where he was still and started walking, the pulse increased, and the same happened during the period where he was walking and started running. When he started walking normally again, his pulse decreased and slowly regulated.

Answer 2

So, first, before the student started doing sports, he or she had a baseline: this is the first, the lowest part of the line.

Then, the pulse went a little up, when the student was walking.

When the student was running, the pulse went very high - this is the highest spike.

After this, the student was walking again, so the pulse went down, butnot to the baseline
