I enjoy science and participating in science fairs. I have always been interested in building things. When I was younger I loved to construct things such as Lego™ robots and Meccanos™. I now enjoy working on bikes and doing other mechanical tasks. I am very interested in engineering. I have done mini-courses in both “Engineering Design” and “Underwater Robotics”. I am planning to pursue a degree in the discipline of Engineering. |

Optimization of Bicycle Training: A Multi-Variable Experiment
| Division: | Life Sciences / None | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Eastern Newfoundland | | City: | Mount Pearl, NL | | School: | St. Peter's Jr. H.S. | | Abstract: | This experiment was designed to determine and quantify the significance and impact of the effect of resistance and incline of bicycle on heart rate while exercising on a stationary bike. For this study, a Multi-Variable Experiment approach was used. The results were analyzed using ANOVA and plotted on various graphs. Analysis showed that resistance has a greater impact (25 bpm) than incline (5.4 bpm). |
