“The Effect of Level of Activity on Clothespin Squeezing Amount
Question: Does exercising/ resting affect the number of times you can squeeze a clothespin in a minute?
Hypothesis: If the person DOES NOT exercise before the task then, they will be able to squeeze the clothespin more because not exercising/resting allows the body to relax and there are no buildups of waste products.
Biological Explanation: Both the respiratory system and the circulatory system are involved within my experiment. The respiratory system and circulatory system both work together to ensure that all cells of the body are supplied with oxygen. The respiratory system helps to bring in oxygen to the person’s body and transfers out carbon dioxide which is also known as a waste product. The respiratory system allows in air when the person breathes. In each of the lungs they have smaller tubes that help to pass the air into smaller and smaller tubes called bronchioles. The smallest of the bronchioles always conclude in small air packs also known as alveoli. These are surrounded by blood vessels. When your body transfers the carbon dioxide to oxygen it is taken place in the thin areas of the alveoli.
The circulatory system has a function to help carry nutrients, oxygen, hormones, and waste to help regulate homeostasis. In the circulatory system there is the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system and blood. The cardiovascular system is a muscular organ that transports materials to the body cells and from them too. This system is composed of three vessels: arteries, capillaries, and veins. The capillary is a flimsy wall that passes gases and nutrients to the body’s cells. The Lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system. The lymph itself helps to capture extra blood that has slipped out and the system helps to return it to the blood. This system is made up of little structures called lymph nodes and lymph tissue.

    The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed through the mouth and nostrils into the lungs. The gas then diffuses through the alveolar walls and into red blood cells (erythrocytes). Carbon dioxide carried back within red blood cells diffuses back through the alveolar walls and is exhaled out through the mouth.…

    The results of the experiment supported the hypothesis. Possible experimental errors included subjects lied about how much they exercised, subjects did not inhale and exhale fully, and the numbers were read incorrectly on the spirometer. For future research, subjects should be monitored for how much they exercise, newer devices should be used, and the subjects should be watched to see if they fully inhaled and exhaled. In conclusion, the experiment showed exercising for a minimum of thirty minutes a day for at least four days a week increased vital capacity in…

    First, the muscle size of an individual determines how long they can withstand certain types of physical activity. For example, an article from the source from above called “Sex Differences in Fatigue Resistance Are Muscle Group Dependent” by Keith G. Avin states that the sixteen females that participated in their experiment (on if females are more fatigue resistant than males) were more resistant at the elbow than males but not at the ankles “Females (112.3 ± 6.2 sec) were significantly…

    In this study, the amount of time it took for muscles to become fatigue was investigated. Muscle fatigue is the temporary decline in a muscle’s ability to generate force. It is usually caused by rigorous exercise. Students were instructed to squeeze a tennis ball as fast as they could for 4 periods of time. A period consisted of 30 seconds. Students were allowed to rest for a short amount of time between each period, but as each passed, the rest amount got shorter. The stopwatch on a cell phone was used to time them. There is really no such thing as a “dominant” hand so students did the experiment with both their left and right. (need results and hypothesis)…

    When considering the impact of injuries, the elderly have a significantly higher dropout rate due to the severity and its impact on quality of life. Many studies have researched why this is. They have concluded that due to the natural process of muscle mass decreasing once past the age of 25, one half of skeletal muscle has been lost by the time people turn 80 years old. Due to this large reduction, musculoskeletal injuries increase rapidly (Paul et al., 2003). In order to reduce the impact of sarcopenia it has been advised that elderly populations participate in eccentric resistance type training (Paul et al., 2003). Many studies have shown the positive effects of resistance training, many demonstrating increased muscle mass in older generations (Borde et al., 2015). Eccentric resistance training can also counteract the injuries required from isotonic contractions. During an eccentric contraction the muscle is considerably lengthened due to a greater muscular force, this causes disruption to the alignment of sarcomeres as well as causing them to overstretch (Dias et al., 2015). When the sarcomere becomes overstretched damage occurs and therefore an injury to the muscle is caused (Proske & Morgan, 2001). When participating in repeated resistance training, the number of actin and myosin filaments increase as well as the number of…
