  1. Alec Brickner Drew Bunnell Elijah Chin Sam Grandfield Lucas Hespenheide Greg Lincir Which games in Wii Fit (Super Hula Hoop, Advanced Step, Basic Run, Push-up/Side Plank, and Jackknife) raises one’s heart rate closest to the average calculated target heart rate of an average 17 year old?

  2. So What??? • Why should we care? – People considering using Wii Fit to exercise should know how effective it is. • Why is it worth testing? – Obesity continues to be a problem in our society, so it’s important to know what methods of losing weight work.

  3. Variables • IDV – Exercise game • DV – Measured heart rate (beats per minute)

  4. Materials • Materials • Television • Wii • Wii remote • Wii Balance Board • Wii Fit game • 4 Polar T31 Heart Rate Sensor

  5. Method • Turn on television and Wii console • Have four people wear the heart rate monitors • Have each person play the Super Hula Hoop game and find their heart rate immediately after • Repeat previous step for Advanced Step, Basic Run, Push-up/Side Plank, and Jackknife, giving each person ten minutes of rest between each exercise

  6. Method • ADD PICTURES HERE

  7. Results *average target heart rate for a seventeen year old is 142 beats per minute

  8. Results Average Target Heart Rate as a Percentage of the Actual Heart Rate for Each of the Five Exercises.

  9. Conclusion and Evaluation • The Basic Run game was the most successful at getting near the average target heart rate, while the Jackknife exercise was the worse. • The Basic Run is closest to actual exercising, but none of them get your heart rate up as much as regular exercise.

  10. Conclusion and Evaluation • Errors • Different people have different fitness levels, so our heart rates aren’t affected in the same way. To solve this, you could have one person do all trials. • Some of the people doing this experiment were sick. Being sick causes one’s heart rate to rise more easily. To fix this, you could wait on performing the experiment until everyone is healthy.
