- Sit Calmly: Begin by sitting comfortably in a chair or on a seat in a quiet area. Allow yourself to rest and calm down for 5 minutes.
- Measure Resting Breathing Rate: Use a stopwatch to time for one minute and count the number of breaths (both inhalation and exhalation). Record this as your resting breathing rate.
- Prepare for Exercise: Stand up and get ready to run in place. Ensure you have enough space to move around safely.
- Perform Physical Activity: Run in place at a moderate pace for 5 minutes to increase your heart rate and breathing rate.
- Rest Again: After completing the exercise, return to the chair or seat and sit down immediately.
- Allow Recovery: Rest for at least 1 minute to help your body return to a more stable state before measuring your breathing rate again.
- Measure Post-Exercise Breathing Rate: Using the stopwatch, count the number of breaths (both inhalation and exhalation) for one minute. Record this as your post-exercise breathing rate.
- Compare Rates: Compare the breathing rate recorded during the resting phase with the rate measured after running.
- Analyze Results: Observe the difference in breathing rates. Typically, the rate will be higher after physical activity.
- Draw Conclusions: The increase in breathing rate after exercise indicates the body’s response to the higher demand for oxygen during physical activity
