Procedure

  1. Ensure the subject is at rest and measure the resting pulse rate for 60 seconds.
  2. Select the fitness level of the subject.
  3. Choose an exercise (Running, Jumping Jacks, Skipping) and a duration.
  4. Perform the exercise and immediately measure the post-exercise pulse rate.
  5. Observe the pulse graph and record data in the observation table.
  6. Monitor the recovery time until pulse returns to the resting rate.
