The forest lake aquathon consists of a 250 meter swim and a 2.5 kilometre run. A specific training program has been made to improve my weaknesses and work on cardiovascular fitness and endurance. This essay will also evaluate the personal training program that has been created and whether or not it will help improve my fitness. In last year’s aquathon I did not participate‚ but the average time that most students finished were around 20 minutes. There was also a fitness test where students swum

Effects of Electrical Stimuli and Injected Reagents on Frog Hearts Melissa Higdon Section 05‚ Group 01 November 19‚ 2013 Introduction: The heart is a very complex muscle for all species. It is responsible for sending oxygenated blood throughout the body as well as sending deoxygenated blood to the lungs‚ and continuously circulate this way for as long as we are alive. Many things can be effected‚ for example how fast the heart beats or how much

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

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

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 6 Cardiovascular Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: 1. Define each of the following terms: • autorhymicity- The heart is autorhythmic. This means it generates its own rhythmic action potential independent of the nervous system. • sinoatrial node- is the impulse-generating (pacemaker) tissue located in the right atrium of the heart‚ and thus the generator of normal sinus rhythm. • pacemaker cells- are specialized cells that cause involuntary muscles and tissues to

The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside natural heart abnormalities are those induced by chemical substances

Laboratory – Muscle Physiology A. MUSCLE TONUS Observations‚ Report and Conclusion: A. Define muscle tonus and give its importance * Muscle tonus refers to a state of slight muscular contraction maintained by synchronous impulses of low frequency‚ discharged by the spinal motor neurons. * Reflex in nature. * Muscle tonus is a small amount of tension in the muscle due to weak‚ involuntary contractions of its motor units. Muscle tonus is important in a sense that it governs the
