This experiment‚ Cardiovascular Fitness‚ produced the results of the fitness and fitness index of an athlete versus a non- athlete. To do so both the athlete and non-athlete had to preform the step test in which they stepped up and down the stairs at the same pace for the same duration of time. The hypothesis made by my group was that the athlete would have a lower heart-rate and better fitness index then the non-athlete. We guessed this base on the fact that many youth in America who aren’t athletes

Differences in Cardiovascular Fitness that Effect Nonsmokers and Smokers Kayla Forbes 2-15-12 Bio Lab 140/77 Hilde Stawski Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to find out how smoking affected nonsmokers‚ light smokers‚ and heavy smokers heart rate during cardiovascular endurance. The participants will record their pulse rate before and after every minute for six minutes after the step test. As predicted‚ the heavy smokers had an increase in pulse rate that was twice as high as the

CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS Cardiovascular fitness is frequently considered the most important aspect of physical fitness because those who possess it are likely to have a lessened risk of coronary heart disease – the number one killer in our society. Cardiovascular fitness is also referred to as cardiovascular endurance‚ cardio-respiratory capacity and circulatory fitness. Regardless of the word used to describe it‚ cardiovascular fitness is complex because it requires fitness of several body systems

Cardiovascular fitness is the practice of utilizing and transporting oxygen in the process using your heart lung and organs. The practice of this can improve the pumping of the blood and oxygen to the body making it more efficient and easier to release oxygen therefore improving your exercising techniques. An important fact about cardiovascular fitness is the maximum volume of oxygen you body can retain is VO2 Max. There are many forms of exercising and practicing cardiovascular fitness. Some examples

Introduction Cardiovascular Dynamics and the Cardiovascular Physiology experiments both have multiple goals. The first experiment aims to understand how blood flow‚ pressure gradient‚ and resistance relate to one another. To understand this‚ resistance and contributing factors‚ such as vessel radius‚ viscosity‚ and vessel length must be studied. The effects of vessel radius and stroke volume on the ventricular pump should also examined. The experiment also calls for an understanding of cardiovascular

Cardiovascular fitness is the practice of using and transfer of oxygen to the organs in your body. The daily exercising can help bring oxygen to the body making it more simple to release oxygen. So enhancing your exercising routines is useful. An important thing about cardiovascular fitness is the maximum volume of oxygen you body can retain is called VO2 Max. There are different ways for you to exercise and practice cardiovascular fitness like walking. Cardio fitness can also involve aerobics‚ but

Introduction: The cardiovascular system has multiple components that work to ensure an enough oxygen is supplied to the muscles‚ both at rest and during exercise. The objective of this laboratory session was to measure‚ and compare how the cardiovascular system responds to dynamic and isometric exercise. The research question for this lab was “What is the effect of different exercise modalities on the cardiovascular system?”. In response to this research question‚ the following hypothesis was formed
