  1. How does music affect your vital signs? By: Chris Wright & Willie Guererro

  2. Topic • Our goal is to observe the effect that music has on our vital signs. • We will be testing blood pressure, heart rate, and reaction time.

  3. Research • Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the arteries. • The unit of measurement is mm Hg or millimeters of mercury. • Factors that affect blood pressure are age, race, family history, being overweight, using tobacco, stress, and alcohol.

  4. Research Cont. • Heart rate is the amount of times your heart beats a minute. • The unit of measurement is bpm or beats per minute. • Factors that affect heart rate include medicine usage, body position, body size, and air temperature.

  5. Variables & Controls • Independent Variable: Genre of music • Dependent Variable: Blood pressure , Heart rate, reaction time. • Controls: Volume, type of headphones, amount of time listening to the music.

  6. Hypothesis • If the genre’s tempo is faster than the vital signs will be distorted.

  7. Materials • Blood pressure cuff • Headphones • Heart rate monitor • Music player • Volunteers • Rock song • Hip-Hop song • Country song • Dubstep song • Reggae song • Classical song

  8. Procedure • Before the test subject listens to the music we will test their blood pressure, heart rate and reaction time. • After 1 minute through the song we will test their blood pressure, heart rate and reaction time. • After the songs are finished we will test their blood pressure, heart rate and reaction time the final time.

  9. Data (Rock)

  10. Data (Hip-Hop)

  11. Data (Country)

  12. Data (Classical)

  13. Graph Blood Pressure

  14. Graph Heart Rate

  15. Conclusion • Our hypothesis was correct with heart rate. • Hip-Hop had the highest heart rate during and after the song. • We were not properly trained to take blood pressure and heart rate so some of our calculations might have been misread due to human error.

  16. Conclusion Cont. • Before the music started not everybody’s heart rate was the same. • When people listened to hip-hop their heart rate actually raised then stayed high. • Classical music made peoples heart rate went down and after the music it raised back up.
