Lesson Summary
You will learn to identify the changes in your heart rate beat per minute (bpm) as your work rate increases.
Key Notes
- Move: ensuring our body becomes more efficient requires us to move more to increase our heart rate above resting rate.
- Think: we can monitor our heart rate using our index and middle finger to count the beats per minute.
- Feel: exercise releases endorphins which improves mood and reduces stress.
- Connect: encouraging our peers when completing maximal exertion tasks shows good collaboration.
Vocabulary To Learn
- heart rate: the speed at which the heart beats (bpm)
- respiratory/breathing rate: the number of breaths you take per minute to provide the body with oxygen
- sweating: the release of a salty liquid from your sweat glands to help the body stay cool - also known as perspiration
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Thinking the heart rate and breathing rate are zero when at rest.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: ensuring our body becomes more efficient requires us to move more to increase our heart rate above resting rate. Think: we can monitor our heart rate using our index and middle finger to count the beats per minute.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'heart rate'
the speed at which the heart beats (bpm).
3. Correct this common mistake.
