3. Jammy’s Target heart rate was 161.8-182.4Bpm. This was calculated by taking his maximum

heart rate (203Bpm) and subtracting his resting heart rate (100Bpm), then taking 60% and 80% of

the answer (103Bpm) and adding his resting heart rate to it. He reached his target heart rate on the

third set, when he hit 162Bpm. He stayed within this target heart rate until the twelfth set, where his

heart rate reached 184Bpm. But then he went back within his target heart rate on the thirteenth set,

which was 174 Bpm. This could be due to him possibly taking too long of a rest before his last set,

allowing more ATP to be produced for energy.

4. He did not reach his anaerobic threshold until the last set. In the last set, he felt tightness in his

gastrocnemius muscles, meaning he was experiencing lactic acid accumulation. From this, we can

gather that this part of this experiment was quite successful because he used his ATP for almost

every set, and did not go into his glycolytic system until the final 40m sprint.
