    This document outlines a study that examines the relationship between BMI and resting heart rate in 16-17 year old students. It describes the research question, controlled variables (age and measurement methods), dependent variable (resting heart rate), independent variable (BMI), materials, procedure, safety/ethical considerations, and consent form. Participants will have their height, weight, BMI, and resting heart rate measured using a smartwatch after 5 minutes of rest. BMI will be calculated using the standard height/weight formula. Results will be analyzed to determine if and how BMI affects resting heart rate in this age group. All personal information will be kept confidential and participants can withdraw at any time without penalty.

    Title:
    The effect of BMI on the resting heart rate of a 16-17-year-old.

    Methodology

    Research Question:
    How does a 16-17-year-old student's BMI affect their resting heart rate?

    Controlled Variables and how is it controlled:


    The controlled variable in this experiment is the student's age, are gathering all participants from
    the same grade so that the age range remains the same. 16-17. We use the same method to
    calculate BMI. We will use the equation of Height^2/Weight for measuring the BMI of each
    participant. We will also use the same smartwatch to measure the resting heart rate of each
    student. Another controlled variable will be the amount of time the participants must rest before
    measuring their heart rate. We will control this by making the participants rest 5 minutes before.

    Dependent Variable:
    The dependent variable will be the resting heart rate of each participant. (BPM)

    Independent Variable:
    The independent variable will be the BMI measured for each participant. We will use the
    equation of Height^2/Weight for measuring the BMI of each participant.

    Materials:
    ● Smart Watch with heart rate monitor
    ● Stopwatch
    ● Measuring Tape
    ● Consent Form
    ● Willing Participants

    Procedure:
    1. Sit down for 5 minutes
    2. Ask for weight kg and height cm
    3. Measure BMI with (Height^2/Weight)
    4. Place the Smartwatch on the participant
    5. Get results from the watch
    6. Take notes on all information gathered
    7. Clean all materials used
    8. Repeat steps for the next participants

    Safety Regulations and Ethical Consideration:

    ● All participants must have signed the consent form


    ● All Materials should be cleaned in between each participant
    ● Participants are always allowed to stop the experiment if they feel uncomfortable or they
    do not like to share personal information
    ● All participant's names will be left out of the experiment
    ● Participants must rest for 5 minutes before the experiment

    Consent Form:

    Dear Participant,

    My name is Nicolas Gomez and I am a student of IB Biology HL Y1. Thank you for taking the
    time in considering being one of many participants in this experiment. My experiment consists of
    measuring your resting heart rate and your BMI to then compare them to all of the different
    results and figure out how BMI affects your heart rate.

    The experiment will take place in the Biology room during lunch. You can be sure that your
    identity will be kept secret. This experiment will need personal information that some may not be
    comfortable sharing so you may withdraw at any time. You will not be able to eat before this
    experiment. You will meet with me and be able to ask questions or concerns you have about this
    experiment.
