The Effects Of Aerobic And Anaerobic Exercise On A Human’s Pulse, Respiration, Body Temperature, And Blood Pressure The Effects of Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise on a Human’s Pulse, Respiration, Body Temperature, and Blood Pressure Abstract: Our group hypothesized that aerobic activity will increase heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and body temperature more than anaerobic activity. This prediction was based on previous experiments and data stated in the lab manual and book. This experiment proved our hypothesis correct. Greater increases are observed between the control data (resting), and the aerobic activity data then between the control data and anaerobic activity data. Introduction: Previously conducted experiments in this lab course have concluded that exercise increases pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. Each of the exercises conducted previously were aerobic or involved oxygen consumption by the body (www.dictionary.com). Our group wanted to compare aerobic activity with that of anaerobic activity or activity that didn’t necessarily involve extra oxygen consumption by the body. Pulse is the measure of the movement of blood through the arteries (Bopp). The normal adult pulse rate while resting is between 60 and 80 beats per minute but increased activity increases the need for oxygen in the cells and therefore influences a person’s pulse rate. Respiration is the act of breathing (Bopp).
