Lesson details
Key learning points
- The recovery time is the time it takes for the heart rate to return to its resting rate after exercise.
- Heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) can be measured by taking a person's pulse.
- A line graph can be plotted showing pulse rate or heart rate over time after exercise.
- A person's recovery time can be determined from the line graph.
- People who are fitter have a shorter recovery time.
