The document defines various medical terms related to heart rate and blood pressure measurements. It provides instructions on measuring pulse after 15 minutes of rest by feeling the radial or carotid artery and notes a normal resting heart rate for teenagers is between 50 to 90 beats per minute. It also describes how to accurately monitor heart rate with a sensor strap on the index finger and cautions that high intensity activity can interfere with pulse measurements.

BP – blood pressure HR – heart rate BPM – beats per minute 1b 1. HR 2. CHD 3. BPM 4. BP 2a A 2b 1. Pulse, is how many times your heart beats in a minute. 2. When you’ve been resting for 15 minutes. 3. The best arteries are radial artery or carotid artery. 4. A normal resting heart rate for teenagers is between 50 and 90 beats per minute. 5. When your recovery heart rate of less than 12 BPM mean’s you’re not very fit. 6. If you haven’t done much sport in a while, take it slowly and gently. 3a 1. Accurate – exact 2. Monitor – track 3. Strap – band 4. Sensor – actuator 5. Index finger – the finger next to the thumb 6. Interfere - intervene 7. High intensity activity - high activity for a short period of time
