Course Activity: The Effects of Exercise on Muscles and Heart Rate – Task 3 (Planning an
Investigation)
Part A
The question to be tested for this experiment is as follows: Will pulse rate be higher with
short bursts of intensive exercise compared to longer bursts of moderate exercise?
Part B
For this experiment, the independent variables are the type, duration, and intensity of the
activities. The dependent variable is the pulse rate. For the experiment, two activities (HIIT and
jogging) will be performed to determine if short bursts of intensive exercise (HIIT) have a more
lasting impact on the pulse rate compared to longer bursts of moderate exercise (jogging). To
ensure that outside factors can be controlled, the two activities will be performed at a similar
time, yet at a distance between each other to ensure that the resting pulse rate is the same for
each at the start.
Part C
I predict that the short bursts of intensive exercise (HIIT) will have a more lasting and
significant impact on the pulse rate (resulting in a higher pulse rate) over the longer bursts of
moderate exercise (jogging).

Part F
Based on the results shown in the graph, I did accurately predict the results. From the
results, therefore, it can be concluded that short bursts of intensive exercise (such as HIIT) have a
greater impact on pulse rate compared to longer bursts of moderate exercise (such as jogging).
These results relate to the body’s regulation of homeostasis, as short bursts of intensive exercise
require more work from the body’s muscles and tissues, therefore requiring a higher pulse rate to
ensure these muscles and tissues receive enough oxygenated blood. In this experiment, the
limitations were limited to the availability of equipment to conduct more intensive HIIT
exercises. With that, the accuracy of this experiment could be improved by standardizing the
exercises to be conducted as the availability of gym equipment for standard HIIT exercises is
limited.
