Our research on the effect of sitting position on heart rate recovery on cross country runners was decided because we want to give endurance athletes insight on how to recover faster after an event. Some sports like swimming or track have athletes that are in more than one event in that certain day. Cross country runners, however, run their 5,000 meters during the race, but they maintain a pace that they run for a longer period of time, so they were the best population to test heart rate on endurance athletes.
The sources we have found have been very helpful, and the American Heart Association website has provided important information on heart rate and factors that can affect the recovery of it. We needed a heart rate monitor to study the peak heart rate during exercise and the peak heart rate one minute after they completed the run, and we found a chest strap monitor called the Wahoo BLUEHR, which includes an iPhone application to record the trials via Bluetooth.
We have a potential professional contact named Allison Meteyer who is a Cardiologist at Beaumont. She is willing to give us assistance on the insight on why sitting positions matter with heart rate recovery.
