II. Data Summary and Questions
E. Heart Rate (BPM)
Condition Mean Range
Supine, regular breathing
Seated, deep breathing, inhalation
Supine, deep breathing,
exhalation Sitting, regular
breathing
After exercise – start of
recording After exercise – end of
recording
Explain the changes in heart rate between conditions. Describe the physiological mechanisms
causing these changes.
F. Duration ( T)
Rhythm
Measurement Mean Range
Supine, regular breathing

Supine, deep
breathing
Inhalation
Exhalation
Are there differences in the cardiac cycle with the respiratory cycle?

diastole
After Exercise
Ventricular systole
Ventricular diastole
What changes occurred in the duration of systole and diastole between resting and post-
exercise?
G. Review your Data
1. Is there always one P wave for every QRS complex? Yes No
2. Describe the P and T wave shapes:
3. Do the wave durations and amplitudes for all subjects fall within the normal ranges listed
in Table 5.3? Yes No
4. Do the ST-segments mainly measure between –0.1 mV and 0.1 mV? Yes No
5. Is there baseline “drift” in the recording? Yes No
6. Is there baseline “noise” in the recording? Yes No
