Why is heart rate data important and how it is used in football?
Linked to the Great Sports Share guided enquiry this Protect Our Future STEM CREW resource delves into why heart rate data is important and how it is used in football?
Using the England Women’s Football Team as a working example, explore real-world, biological examples explaining heart rate & recovery.
Pupils work scientifically to ask-investigate and share their knowledge of their own heart rate, with data gathered on resting/normal rates following exercise.
In STEM CREW pupils will:
understand why heart rate data is important and how it is used in football.
know what recovery time is and how this is linked to fitness.
list changes in the body during exercise.
investigate changes in heart rate during football.
