Rationale of Study: We had actually pondered whether our breathing rate and heart rate has a ratio of 1:4
Research Topic: Ratio of respiratory and heart rate
Research Question: Is the ratio of respiratory rate proportionate to heart rate?
Dependent Variable: Respiratory Rate
Independent Variable: Heart Rate
Extraneous Variable: Age, Gender, Physical Activities
Research Hypothesis: There is a positive relationship between the ratio of respiration rate and heart rate
Null Hypothesis: There is no relationship between the ratio of respiration and heart rate
Conceptualization:
Respiration rate: The number of breaths per minute or, more formally, the number of movements indicative of inspiration and expiration per unit time
Heart rate: A term that describes the number of times your heart beats in a one-minute period.
Operationalization:
Both the heart rate and respiration rate will be measured using a watch for a whole of one minute.
