Aim: To investigate factors which affect pulse rates when exercising.

Key Factors:

* What exercise

* How long for

* Speed

How long for - this is important because the longer you do it for the more likely you are to reach your plateau and it increases the amount of exercising you are doing to see how long you can do without getting tired.

Speed - this is important because the faster you do it the more you are pushing yourself, but if you do it slowly then you aren't pushing yourself enough and won't reach your target.
