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.…
Over the past year these rare Mathemafish are being threaten by the Fluted Dropout Shark. As months pass the population is starting to decrease more and more. We are finding that out through the catch-tag-release method (method that allows us to track the fish) that the past twelve months the population which started at 480 has dropped to 46.…

Regular exercise keeps your body in a healthy condition, and by keeping your body healthy, one can be defended from disease far more than an out of shape body. With a healthy diet, and regular exercise, you can maintain a good healthy heart and prevent heart disease. Many studies show that making improvements with your physical fitness will lower your risk of developing illness. Both aerobic and anaerobic exercises improves cardiovascular efficiency, strength and endurance, increases energy and metabolism, relieves stress, and increases flexibility.…
Performing cardiovascular endurance exercises is done to help strengthen ones heart. The heart is one of the most important muscles in the human body. By going through the process of strengthening your heart you can increase your lifespan, decrease risk of heart disease, decrease risk of diabetes, increased metabolism, improved recovery ability, and much more. Also, due to the fact that cardiovascular health has a direct correlation with oxygen flow to the…
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.…

I believe that it is better to die for what you believe rather than to lie to save your own life. Many people have died for their beliefs. There are martyrs from all over the world, and they were not afraid to stand up for what they believed in, even if it meant losing their lives. Those people have gone down in history, and are respected by many. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake at the age of 19 for believing that her visions were from God. The English leaders tried to force her to deny that God had spoken to her, but she refused. She went down in history as a great martyr and she is still today and perfect example of standing up for what you believe in. Another great martyr…

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…
For many years there has been a debate between which is better for weight control and all around health and fitness, Cardiorespiratory Exercise or Weight Training. Many people tend to focus only on one aspect of the physical wellness. For example women, like myself may focus more on cardiorespiratory and flexibility training more so than Weight training. This is out of fear of injury, or the muscles becoming too bulky. Women tend to want to burn more calories, therefore they focus on exercises’ such as aerobics, walking, swimming, and jogging. Research shows that working out with weights has health benefits beyond simply bulking up one's muscles and strengthening bones. Studies are finding that more lean muscle mass may allow kidney dialysis patients to live longer, give older people better cognitive function, reduce depression, boost good cholesterol, lessen the swelling and discomfort of lymphedema after breast cancer and help lower the risk of diabetes. Although Weight training has its benefits for variety of reasons; it also has its downside. Weight training promotes short term stiffness of the blood vessels, which could promote High Blood Pressure over time and increase the load on the heart. This would not be good for someone who has a history of Hypertension. A variety of studies have shown that the best way to offset the cardiovascular stress caused by strength training is to combine cardiorespiratory endurance exercise such as a brisk walk, bicycling, or elliptical machine, immediately after a weight training exercise. Regular aerobic exercise causes your lungs to process more oxygen with less effort; your heart to pump more blood with fewer beats; and the blood supply directed to your muscles to increase. As a result, by performing cardiovascular exercises, you are increasing your body's endurance and efficiency.…

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.…
