Background Information: Blood transports nutrients, oxygen and water to every cell in the body. There are 2 kinds of blood cells, red and white The primary function of white blood cells is to fight germs. The heart is made of muscle tissue, so exercise will make the heart pump. The heart supplies oxygen to our muscles when we are exercising and to our brain to keep us alert. The 3 elements of fitness are stamina, strength and flexibility. Strength is the amount of force muscles exert when performing a action. The ability of the heart and blood vessels is to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissue, including muscle is stamina. Flexibility is the ability of the joints to move freely and without discomfort. When exercising, the muscles need more oxygen because muscles work harder than normal. So there is a increase in blood flow and heart rate.…
Most types of exercise are practiced in order to utilize the body's core functions and to better those bodily functions. Cardiovascular exercise is a popular type of exercise which is used to increase the heart's functions and the effectiveness of said functions. One main type of exercise is resistance exercise, which increases strength and mass, bone strength, and the body's metabolism. By practicing this cardiovascular exercise, you increase your heart's strength, making your heart more fit.…
The table indicates the total averages of the non-smokers, light smokers, and the heavy smokers. To calculate the averages, we added all the beats per minute and divided by six to get the averages. The graph illustrates how the beats per minute changed during the six minutes.…

Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of the heart, lungs and circulatory system to supply oxygen and nutrients to working muscles efficiently. Having good cardio fitness allows you to enjoy life to the fullest. Cardio fitness reduces your risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure, reduces cholesterol and helps you look and feel better. On the fitness test I scored a Maximum oxygen consumption of 58. This score placed me in…

At the moment, my cardiovascular fitness is not very efficient, if I do not improve my cardiovascular fitness, it will increase my likelihood of heart disease and respiratory problems down the road. By increasing my cardiovascular endurance level, it can help my cardiovascular and respiratory systems to function properly while under the stress of challenging exercise sessions. Like the book mentions, improving cardiovascular endurance will not only help boost oxygen to muscles over an extended period of time but it can help improve my physical fitness level. Having short term and long term goals for improving my cardiovascular endurance, will help make a difference with reducing potential heart and respiratory problems.…
First of all, when a person begins exercising it immediately starts working their heart. When a person’s heart begins working because of exercise it pumps harder; this can lead to a better circulation for blood flow. Since the blood flow is increasing it causes more oxygen to be carried throughout the body. Better circulation due to exercise can also lower one’s blood pressure. All of these can result in a stronger and healthier heart due to working out.…
