Question
Hey I'm doing a seventh grade science fair project and the question is "What gets your heart rate higher? Bmxing ir Skateboarding?" Could you possibly give me some referances, or answer this for me?

Answer
Amon,

It depends on a lot of factors. Such as: how fast you are going, the type of terrain, and the persons physical condition. Both will increase heart rate, but with out specific test parameters it will be hard to determine which will increase heart rate more. You may want to look into fitness sites like ACSM, ACE, NASM and see if they have references.
