How effective are lie detectors?

They monitor heart rate, sweatiness, et cetera, but a lot of people are born with higher levels of them. So why do they really keep using them?

What's up with my fast heart rate?

For the past year-ish, I have been a mild fitness/health nut. I stay active, eat really healthy, and workout for *at least* 1 hour (usually 2) every day. It’s all kickbutt workouts, too! I weight train and always have cardio in my schedule. I don’t smoke or drink and I get at least 6 hours of sleep every night. In other words, staying healthy is a top priority.

I just measured my heart rate because despite my active lifestyle, I’ve always been in the 90-100 bpm range. I was at 100 again! Also, it seems as if when I inhale, it speeds up considerably.

I’m a 20-year-old female, 5’6" and 120 pounds. Is my heart rate something I need to be concerned about? Whenever I go to the doctor’s office, he checks my pulse for like 30 seconds and doesn’t say anything about it, and when I ask, he says I just need to exercise more – but I’m a freaking exercise addict. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!

Whats a safe heart rate while excising?

I use an exercise bike regularly and like to push myself really hard. However, sometimes I feel like my heart is racing too fast. I have a heart beat monitor on the bike. Is there like a max heart rate that you should never exceed while exercising? I am 20, male, about 6’4" 180 lbs

Help with java lab!!!?

It’s almost the end of the quarter and this is the last java lab I have to do and it is really hard. I cannot figure out what to do and I got a lot of other stuff to finish. Please anyone help.

You have been hired by a medical research group, led by the famous cardiologist Dr. Angie O’Plasty, that has developed something they call the fitness quotient. The idea is to have a person walk on a treadmill for several minutes and to take his/her heart rate measurement a couple times a minute. This leads to a series of heart rates, e.g., <60,66,72,75,72,74>. The person’s fitness quotient is twice the smallest heart rate in this series, divided by the sum of the smallest and largest heart rates. (Notice that neither the duration of the test nor the frequency of heart rate measurements is important, and in general these may vary from test to test and from individual to individual without affecting the fitness quotient.) For example, the individual whose heart rates are those in the above example would have a fitness quotient of 0.889 = (2*60)/(60+75).
The medical research group is interested in a program that will read a file containing heart rate measurements for several anonymous individuals, and will create from it an HTML file that looks like this when viewed in a browser:

Fitness QuotientMinimum Heart RateMaximum Heart RateHeart Rate Series
0.919 68 80 68, 69, 76, 78, 77, 77, 78, 80
0.887 67 84 67, 69, 78, 83, 83, 84, 79, 82, 79, 84, 83, 82, 83, 84, 79, 83, 80, 78, 84, 84
0.894 63 78 63, 71, 73, 78, 76

The program will perform the following actions:

Ask the user to enter the name of the input file containing the heart rate measurements, and input the file name;
Ask the user to enter the name of the output file where the output HTML document will be saved, and input the file name;
Open the input file by using a Scanner object (see Input file format for a description of the format of the input file);
Open (create) the output file by using a PrintWriter object (see Output file format for a description of the format of the output file);
Output to the file the appropriate opening HTML tags;
Output to the file the header row of the table;
For each series of heart rates in the input file, do the following:
Input the series of numbers from the input file and store them in an array;
Compute the minimum, maximum, and fitness quotient for the series;
Output one row of the HTML table to the output file, with the fitness quotient, minimum and maximum heart rates, and the list of heart rates;
Output to the file the appropriate closing HTML tags;
Close the input and output files.
Make sure you handle all possible IOException exceptions generated by the file I/O calls.

Note: If you have any problems or questions make sure you ask your instructor as soon as possible.

Input File Format

The input file will contain heart rate measurements for several anonymous individuals in the following format:
<number of heart rate series>
<number of heart rate measurements for first individual>
<heart rate 1>
<heart rate 2>
<heart rate 3>

<number of heart rate measurements for second individual>
<heart rate 1>
<heart rate 2>
<heart rate 3>


where the first line <number of heart rate series> is the number of heart rate series in the input file; after that, <number of heart rate measurements for first individual> is the length of the first heart rate series, which is followed by the corresponding number of heart rate measurements, one per line of the input file. Each following heart rate series follows the same format. See sample-input.txt and many-heart-rates.txt for sample input files in this format. Note that your solution must work with an input file following this format but with an arbitrary number of heart rate series.
Output File Format

The output file format will be HTML (hyper-text markup language) which is the simple markup language that Netscape and other web browsers interpret to render web pages.
HTML is composed of tags. HTML tags are always enclosed in angle-brackets ( < > ). Tags typically occur in begin-end (or open-close) pairs. These pairs are in the form

<tag> … </tag>
where the <tag> indicates the beginning (opening) of a tag-pair, and the </tag> indicates the end (close). The three dots indicate an arbitrary amount of content between the tags.
Specifically, an HTML document starts with the <html> tag and ends with the </html> tag. Inside these tags, you usually find a <body> … </body> pair of tags that define the body of the HTML document.

So the general structure of your program’s output will be the following:

<html>
<body>

</body>
</html>
The body of the HTML output file will contain a table. A table is enclosed in a <table> … </table> pair of tags. Between these tags you need to list the rows of the table. Each row is enclosed in a <tr> … </tr> pair of tags. Betw
Have trouble with the input and output of the files. That was the last thing that was taught this quarter. Also IOExceptions. He just told us about them yesterday.

Getting started with the Polar RCX5

So you just got home with your brand new heart rate monitor and not sure what to do next. Heart rate training can be an important part of any workout program, but like most new training tools if you are not using the tool correctly you could have trouble fully maximizing it. So in this document we pulled together some information and links from PolarUSA.com to get you started. Introduction to Heart Rate Based Training If you are new to exercising, I can almost guarantee you are wondering how much and in which intensities you should train. If you go too hard and you run the risk of burning yourself out quickly. If you go too slow you may not see results. The key is to find the balance between exercise and recovery, and the best way to gauge that is a heart rate monitor. Take a look at the following links to get you started: Intro to Heart Rate Training – bit.ly Structure of A Workout Session – bit.ly Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise – bit.ly Part of finding that balance is to understand and utilize different heart rate zones based on your personal goals. Polar has a few unique features built into certain training computers that help you find these zones, like Energy Pointer(FT7,FT40) and Ownzone(FT60,FT80). But if you aren’t using these “Own” features you can still take advantage training zones. Calculating Maximum Heart Rate The first thing to do would be to find your Maximum Heart rate(MHR). You have a few different options for calculating MHR. 220 — age is a common

i am looking for a group of people dedicated to quiting smoking in the greater Baltimore area. the study will monitor heart rate, weight, and other physical properties of people quiting using different methods, and there will be long term follow ups. if anybody is part of a group willing to participate, or if anybody knows of a group, i would be very grateful. i need to start soon, because the study has to start soon so i can complete it on time.

The maximum I’m going to spend is 0.
I want a watch that doesn’t require a chest strap.
I would like the calories that are burned to be measured by my heart rate for an accurate reading also one that let’s u set ur weight and height (if possible).
And if possible to track the distance I run accurately.
If anyone has a personal experience with a watch I’m describing, please share:)
Thank you:)

Accurate Heart Rate Monitor watch needed!!?

Can someone please provide a link or info to a heart rate monitor watch that calculates steps, calories and heart rate with entering in your height and weight? I have a Sportline watch that I bought at Walmart for 0 that doesnt require me entering in my height and weight and I am a little uncertain about the accuracy of the calories burned reading. It uses pulse technology.

amzn.to The smartest way to better fitness, the Polar FT60 men’s heart rate monitor watch helps you stay motivated and improve your conditioning. The FT60 works by first checking your daily condition, and then guiding you to the ideal training intensity for your age and fitness level. Knowing your heart rate not only helps you reach your personal fitness goal, but also improves your physical condition in general, as it’s vitally important to train at the appropriate intensity level. If you exercise too hard, you may quit before you reach the real benefit, but if you work out too leisurely, you’ll struggle to lose weight at all. The FT60 helps overcome these problems by encouraging you to map out a complete fitness routine. The FT60 is packed with innovative training features to help you toward your exercise goals. First off, the watch includes a Polar Star personalized training program that adapts to your workout habits. By giving you weekly training targets and providing constant feedback, the watch guides you without being too strict, helping you reach your goals more efficiently. The watch also displays heart rate info in several ways, including as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, as beats per minute, and within a graphical target zone indicator. And should your heart rate exceed or dip below your target zone, the FT60 will sound an alarm that helps you return to form. Users will also love the variety of proprietary Polar functions, including ZonePointer, Polar

This is aside from losing weight. Also, I know you get benefits immediately after doing it but when do you settle in to more general longer term benefits, like improvements in circulation and immunity etc and general fitness. Is it about a month or two? Sorry if this question is too general. btw this is assuming you are doing about 35 -40 minutes aerobic 3-4 days a week (at 55%-85% of maximum heart rate). Any answers would be appreciated.

I recently purchased a second hand hi bebe heart rate monitor. I do not have of the gel it usually comes with new. I know you can order it online but I’m impatient:) Any good substitutes I can pick up locally?

During the film, Jake stabs a heart tracking monitor into the shark which keeps control of the shark’s heart rate. So how does the monitor speed up and slow down? The heart rate would only speed up if the shark got excited and slow down if the shark were relaxed. During the film, however, it is shown to the the EXACT same thing, speed up when the shark gets close, slow down when it leaves even though the shark’s heartbeat may not be fluctuating at all. The Director seems to assume the the shark’s heart rate would do this. I know it is a film but come on, the most obvious things have to at least be accurate.

Am I right, or is it explained differently in the film than I’ve interpreted?

Do NOT say, "OH, Jaws Revenge is a HORRIBLE movie" or, "Why would you even care?".

cheat heart rate monitor? *read details*?

ok so i had a genius idea to cheat my heart rate monitor, but im not sure if it will work and im afraid it might fry the monitor… ok so its a monitor that detects electrical pulses to determine heart rate. so i had this idea to strip my ipod headphones to the bare wire, then touch it to the heart rate monitor while i have a custom sound going (pulses that are 140 or so bpm). who thinks this might work (remember i can adjust the electricity going thru it… volume… and speed with my audio editor)? and who thinks this is just impossible? and who thinks this is genius? thanks

Hi. Im 16 and a half. I run a lot. This time i ran i used my dads heart rate monitor. My average heart rate was 165 beats per min. The highest i got up to was 200 b/min. I ran for 45 Min’s really hard (for me). Although it was comfortable because i am used to running. At the end of my run it said i only burnt 355 calories. I weigh 57kgs. I am trying to lose 2 kgs. My goal weight is 55kgs.

1. How can i lose weight if it says i burn only 355 Cal’ss for the run and i eat around 1200 Cal’s a day???
2. Could this calorie counter be false?

This is really annoying me because i am trying to lose weight and i eat so healthy and excersise. But at this calorie burning rate…i really dont know what to say..its really dissapointing. And i try so hard.

Please answer my Q’s!
Thanks
