Principle
An electrocardiogram (ECG) can record the sum of the electrical
activities of all of the heart muscle fibres. Under stress, cardiac
activity increases in order to maintain the stability of the
cardiovascular system. The heart contraction cannot be controlled
at will. This experiment enables you to study how physical stress
affects the respective activity of your heart.
Benefits
- No danger due to electrical energy thanks to wireless operation
- Data acquisition with tablets possible
- Outdoors and site-independent measurements possible in tablet mode
- Wireless measurement mode allows for use in sports medicine
- Simple operation of the app, therefore appropriate for all education levels
- Long-term measurement possible, i.e. for fitness tests
Tasks
- Record an ECG while switching from rest to strain (20
squats)
- Record an ECG while switching from strain to rest and calculate
the time that elapses until the resting heart rate is reached
again
