## Get Moving: How Exercise Type Changes Heart Rate
Anatomy project by Shaliah Bennett, Markeria Lee, and Madison Cox exploring the relationship between movement intensity and cardiovascular effort.

## Purpose & Hypothesis
* **Purpose:** Determine which physical activity increases heart rate the most.
* **Hypothesis:** Jumping jacks will cause the highest increase due to more muscle involvement.

## Variables & Methodology
* **Independent Variable:** Exercise type (Walking, Cycling, Jumping Jacks).
* **Dependent Variable:** Heart rate in Beats Per Minute (BPM).
* **Controlled Variables:** Same participant, duration (2 minutes), and location.

## Experimental Procedure
1. Measure baseline resting heart rate.
2. Exercise for 2 minutes.
3. Measure BPM immediately after exercise.
4. Rest until baseline is reached before the next trial.

## Data Collection & Results
* **Walking:** 103 BPM
* **Cycling:** 106 BPM
* **Jumping Jacks:** 122 BPM

## Conclusion
The hypothesis was supported: Jumping jacks (122 BPM) caused a significantly higher heart rate compared to walking or cycling. Higher-intensity, whole-body movements results in more drastic heart rate increases.

## Limitations
Results are based on a single participant. Future studies should include more participants and longer durations for better accuracy.
