Paper 1 (Foundation), Paper 2 (Foundation), Paper 3 (Higher), Paper 4 (Higher)
A reading taken while the volunteer is resting, before exercise, for comparison with later readings.
Revise: Example ActivityCompare these with the resting value: the readings show both the immediate response and how the rate changes during recovery. A recovery time can be defined as the time taken for the rate to return to, or close to, its resting value. Use the same definition throughout the investigation.
Include recovery in your account: take readings after exercise until the rate approaches its resting value.
