(ANAEROBIC ENDURANCE AND AGILITY) 6.7 APPENDIX G EXERCISE ZONES/BEATS PER MINUTE Referencing .Page 18 Introduction Exercise physiology is the scientific study of the acute and chronic metabolic responses of the human body to exercise‚ including biomechanical and physiologic changes in the heart and skeletal muscles (Farlex‚ 2014). The way an athletes body responds to exercise can determine how fit they are within certain fitness components. Exercise physiology can also be known as the study of the

volume of air breathed in or out during one cycle of quiet breathing. There are a few different factors that can affect the pulmonary ventilation rate but the most common and often most noticeable variation in pulmonary variation rate occurs during exercise. During normal quiet respiration‚ the average person breathes 15 times per minute. Breathing is controlled by movements in the thorax brought about by the contracting and relaxing of the diaphragm and the intercostals muscles. Upon inspiration the

A higher than normal hematocrit? What might be the effect of a bacterial infection on the hematocrit? Having a low hematocrit causes anemia‚ feeling of fatigue‚ dizziness etc. It is treated with iron supplements or a blood transfusion. Having a high hematocrit causes polycythemia‚ high risk of cardio vascular

The Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Heart Rate Introduction: Our bodies need to be in balance in order to function properly‚ and there are many ways the body maintains balance‚ or homeostasis. Homeostasis is the maintenance of nearly constant conditions in the internal environment. Our normal heart rate is an example of our body in homeostasis and any sort of change‚ or stimulus‚ can alter it. Exercise‚ adrenaline in the blood‚ and a low blood pH are all stimuli that increase the heart rate. Exercise

Cardiovascular risk factors There are many risk factors associated with coronary heart disease and stroke. Some risk factors such as family history‚ ethnicity and age‚ cannot be changed. Other risk factors that can be treated or changed include tobacco exposure‚ high blood pressure (hypertension)‚ high cholesterol‚ obesity‚ physical inactivity‚ diabetes‚ unhealthy diets‚ and harmful use of alcohol. Of particular significance in developing countries is the fact that while they are grappling with

That’s why we’re still here! It is an adaptation trait that has allowed to our early ancestors to survive.

This population records that half of this people fall under the age of 50 and 25% under the age of 40. The heart is a hollow muscular organ which is situated in the thoracic cavity. It is located between the lungs in the middle of the chest. The heart is responsible for pumping blood into the system. The heart

During muscular exercise‚ blood vessels in the muscles dilate and blood flow is increased in order to increase the available oxygen supply‚ to allow the muscles required to function properly. Up to a point‚ the available oxygen is sufficient to meet the energy needs of the body. However‚ when muscular exertion is very great‚ oxygen cannot be supplied to muscle fibres fast enough‚ and the aerobic breakdown of pyruvic acid cannot produce all the ATP required for further muscle contraction.
