Hypothesis

Everyone's body reacts differently to exercise as does each system inside the body. The results of this experiment are expected to be different for each measurment and for all three levels of activity.

When the person is at rest, sleeping the results are expected to be average, meaning that they should not be out of the ordinary since the body is at rest . All the measuments being tested (Blood pressure - systolic and dyastolic. Temperature - internal, external. Pulse. Heart Rate. Sweat. Respiration), should be of normal or lower than normal results.

During the mild activity, even if the workout isn't strenuous, the results of the measurments are expected to be elevated. (See above paragraph for measurments being observed) However, the mild activity is not per se running or doing a lot of exercise. It is a simple, normal activity that's uninterupted. Your body will register that it is doing some kind of a workout but the results should not be overly elevated for the amount of exercise that is taking place.

During the high activity the body will much more tired than during the light and mild activity. Usually high activity includes things such as running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc... All things that get your heart pumping and make you more tired. (see light activity for measurments being observed) Each measurment will be much more elevated than during light and mild activity and this means that the results will be much different from the other levels of activity. For example teens should have a pulse of about 60 to 100 beats per minute. When doing high levels of activity for a period of time it can elevate to (for example) 144 beats per minute.

Overall the hypothesis is that the more activity that is taking place, the more that your metabolic rates are going to elevate.
