Got a sec to help with a science fair project?

[RichK]

Hey Barf,

My 9 year old daughter is doing a science fair project on people's heart rate.

She needs lots of data on people's resting pulse & pulse after doing 20 jumping jacks.

If you'd like to help, could you please post in this thread or PM me or email me:

-Age
-Gender
-Your resting pulse over 10 seconds after sitting still for at least 2 minutes
-Your pulse over 10 seconds after doing 20 jumping jacks

She wants to compare people between gender and age groups. I'll post the results in this thread for those that are interested.

If you have kids, she wants to get kid data too.

Thanks!

Needs to be a time limit for doing the jumping jacks...otherwise I could do them in 20 sets of 1 rep :laughing

I would help but I'll really screw up the results. With my meds it's really difficult to raise my HR

The free Android Instant Heart Rate app is pretty handy for this.

PM sent.

Thanks, Rod!

I gave her my watch to use for this, although I'm sure she'd prefer having an Android phone...

Thanks guys - and thanks to the others for the PMs.

Drunk jumping jacks are OK, by the way.

What about drunk girls doing jumping jacks?

With video?

Wait, maybe that was my science project. Something about elastic deformation of hemispherical objects in a variable-gravity environment.

13 pumps in 10 seconds from my cold black heart while resting.

21 pumps in 10 seconds from my blah blah blah jumping jacks blah blah blah.

17 to 23 stars in my vision from this ridiculous use of my energy. :x
