Purpose: To discover whether or not listening to house music affects one's heart rate. Heart rate is a measure of your pulse and your pulse is caused by the contractions of the left ventrical of the heart, and the series of pressure waves it causes on the walls of artery's. Your pulse is how many beats your heart makes per minute and is measured in bpm's (beats per minute). Heart rate varies significantly per person, according to their weight, age, fitness, and even genetics. A person's heart rate is also affected by many factors in their environment (such as temperature) and the activity which that person is doing. Stronger people and athletes generally have low resting heart rates because they have more endurance. The factor that has the greatest effect on heart rate, however, is the amount of CO2 in the blood, the higher the density the faster your heart rate will go.
