Back to the Heart (PART I)

Luisana, Katie, and Eri


Observation: (PART I)

- Luisana: Avg. 75 BPM with range of mV: -20 to 40 mV (Resting Rate)

Avg. 96 BPM with range of mV: -15 to 20 mV (Jogging in Place 1 min.)

Avg. 60 BPM with range of mV: -10 to 25 mV (Relaxing on Table 1 min.)

Avg. 72 BPM with range of mV: 0 to 15 mV (Watching video of kittens for 1 min.)

Avg. 65 BPM with range of mV: 0 to 20 mV (Staring at the wall for 1 min.)

- Katie: Avg. 92 BPM with range of mV: -3 to 7 mV (Resting Rate)

First 20 seconds: avg. 120 PM with 0 to 10 mV; after 20 sec. to 1 min.: decreases to range of 85 to 108 BPM with range of mV: 0 to 10 mV (Jogging in Place for 1 min.)

Holding Breath (15 sec.) --> Observation after that time:

While holding breath for 15 seconds: Heart rate gradually dropped (87-112 BPM) with mV rate of 40 to 20 mV (The longer the breath was held, the more it went down) ; After holding breath from 15 sec. to 1 min: Spiked to 120 and dropped to resting rate (92 BPM) with -10 to 40 mV

Avg. 85 BPM with range of mV: -10 to 25 mV (Relaxing on table for 1 min.)

- Eri: avg. 75 BPM with range of mV: -1 to 5 mV (Resting Rate)

Avg. 108 BPM with range of mV: 50 to 60 mV (There were many drops from 130 mV down to gradual resting rate of 75 BPM.) (Jogging in Place for 1 min.)

Avg. 90 BPM with range of mV: -15 to 50 mV (Relaxing on Table for 1 min.)

Avg. 70 BPM (sudden depressions for some periods of time to 20 BPM) with range of mV: -5 to 20 mV (Watching Coverage of Hurricane Katrina for 1 min. )

Avg. 70 BPM (range of 40 to 75 BPM) with range of mV: 0 to 15 mV (Watching Video of Kittens for 1 min.)
