Video Games Experiment Essay, Research Paper

The purpose of this experiment is to find out if video games affect your pulse rate.

I predict that the more intense the game is, the higher the pulse rate will be. I believe this because in an intense game, you can get real nervous which would cause you to push the buttons very fast.

1. Read resting pulse rate for one minute and record.

2. Repeat step 1 two more times and record. Also calculate the average pulse rate and record.

3. Insert a selected game and begin playing.

4. Play for 5 minutes.

5. Stop playing and read pulse rate for one minute. Record.

6. Repeat steps 4-5 for two more trials.

7. Calculate the average pulse rate and record.

8. Repeat steps 3-7 for other games.

9. Repeat steps 1-8 for additional people.

I have discovered that my hypothesis was correct. Video games do indeed affect the body?s pulse rate. Crash Bandicoot 2 posted the highest pulse rates. This game is an action game. Final Fantasy VII posted the lowest pulse rates. This game is very slow. Another thing that I discovered was that people who regularly played video games had a bigger pulse increase. This experiment shows that video games can affect the human body.
