your heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute. heart rate differs from person to person, and it changes with activity. you can find your heart rate by taking your pulse on your wrist or neck.
lightly place your fingers on your wrist or neck and try to find your pulse. count your pulse for 10 seconds and then multiply that number by 6 to get your heart rate for a minute. what activities do you think will increase and decrease your heart rate?

Explanation:

Heart rate is calculated by counting pulses over 10 seconds, then multiplying by 6. Activities that increase heart rate include intense exercise (running, HIIT), stress, or heavy lifting, as the body needs more oxygen. Activities that decrease heart rate include resting, deep breathing, gentle stretching, or meditation, as the body's oxygen demand lowers.

Answer:

To calculate heart rate: Count pulses for 10 seconds, then compute $\text{Heart Rate} = \text{10-second pulse count} \times 6$.
Activities that increase heart rate: Running, high-intensity exercise, stress, heavy physical labor.
Activities that decrease heart rate: Resting, deep breathing meditation, gentle yoga, sitting quietly.
