ABSTRACT This experiment is designed to test whether or not gender is a major contributing factor to the recovery heart rate in humans. Most would assume that the male heart rate would be considerably faster in recovery time than that of the female.

INTRODUCTION The male human has always had certain physical advantages over the female human such as …showed first 75 words of 596 total…

…showed last 75 words of 596 total…and therefore could not be recognized in this experiment. All other things aside, the experiment supported the hypothesis, thus probing the way for more rigorous and controlled experiments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** BIBLIOGRAPHY Dolphin, W.
