Abstract
This study explores the differences in metabolic requirements in walking and bicycle riding by comparing the heart rates of both exercises. The heart rates reflect the metabolic requirements of both exercises. The hypothesis of this study states that the heart rate (in pulse per minute) of walking is significantly lower than the bicycle riding. Heart rates were measured as pulse per minute (ppm) from a sample of college students in resting (462 samples), walking (464 samples) and bicycle riding (439 samples) exercises. The average heart rates were compared and the t-values were calculated to statistically justify the differences. The Continue reading...
