| 1.1 Hypothesis and explanation |
|
Definition
The higher the intensity of exercise, the higher the change in body temperature will be.
I came to this conclusion by reading in a revision guide that the harder the person exercises, the more they convert chemical potential energy into kinetic energy with heat as a byproduct thus raising the average body temperature. |

| 1.2 Sources and why one is more useful than another |
|
Definition
[k-state.edu...]
[pearsonschooland fecolleges.co.uk...]
The Pearson School website was more useful than the k-state website as Pearson school described a detailed experiment to test the link between body temperature and exercise whereas the latter only gave information about which exercises fit into which intensity category. |

Term
| 2.1 Do your results meet the hypothesis? |
|
Definition
| No, my results did not meet the hypothesis, as when the exercise intensity increased the body temperature recorded did not change. An example of this would be from medium intensity to high intensity the body temperature stayed at exactly 37.5*c. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Yes there were anomalies in my results. The anomalous result in my work was the low exercise intensity body temperature as it did not fit the pattern of a consistent body temperature of 37.5. Whereas the rest of the readings were 37.5, the low intensity reading was 36*. |

| 2.3 Independent variable+range |
|
Definition
| The independent variable was from Low to High exercise intensity levels. This was not a suitable range as it was too small and there was no significant change between readings and no pattern. |
|
|
Term
| 2.4 Case studies supporting the hypothesis |
|
Definition
2 Cases do. Include pattern and data from table
1 case does not include pattern and data |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| My results can be applied to life-threatening conditions related to a high body temperature such as heatstroke when exercising. Serious illnesses by spikes in body temperature such as heatstroke are unlikely when exercising under normal conditions as mt results prove as even at a high intensity, the body temperature didn't change dramatically due to your body regulating the core body temperature. |
