Showing cardiovascular and ventilatory responses at rest and during exercise Abstract Objective: The objective of this experiment is to analyse how the cardiovascular and respiratory parameters are affected by steady state exercise. Method: The experiment was split into two stages‚ rest and exercise. A spirometer‚ an ECG‚ a Douglas bag and a blood pressure monitor were used at rest on the subject. In the exercise phase a Douglas bag and the blood pressure monitor were used to measure the subject’s

1.) When you forcefully exhale your entire expiratory reserve volume‚ any air remaining in your lungs is called the residual volume (RV). Why is it impossible to further exhale the RV (that is‚ where is this air volume trapped‚ and why is it trapped?) This "dead space" of air needs to stay in your lungs constantly; otherwise the lung will completely deflate. If the lung has every bit of air sucked out of it‚ it will collapse and need to be re-inflated. 2.) How do you measure a person’s
