Show Answers Only

Sample Answer

Collect heart rate data before, during and after the jog using a heart rate monitor to track cardiovascular response
Measure ventilation rate by counting breaths per minute at regular intervals to assess respiratory response
Record ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) on a scale of 6-20 to correlate physiological responses with subjective feelings
Track recovery time by measuring how long it takes for heart rate to return to within 10% of resting
Analyse data by creating graphs showing changes over time and comparing results to established norms or previous personal results
