Article #1 A study conducted by Capewell‚ Ford‚ Croft‚ Critchley‚ Greenlund‚ and Labarthe (2010) studied coronary heart disease risk factors trends and mortality in the United States. The purpose of this study was to look at cardiovascular risk factors in the United States since coronary heart disease is among the leading causes of death in the world. It is not only the leading cause of death‚ but coronary heart disease is also costing the United States a lot of money. Since much of the population

Lab 9 Report: Exercise Physiology Introduction When the human body is put to work and undergoes any sort of activity‚ it requires more energy and resources in order to sustain this. The cells in muscles and organs must work faster‚ and thus require more energy to do so. The body compensates by increasing heart rate and respiration in order to increase the amount of oxygen entering‚ carbon dioxide leaving‚ and rate at which these gases are delivered to cells throughout the body. In this lab‚ we

Asthma is a condition of the respiratory which is caused by the tightness of the muscles in the airways‚ which therefore causes the individual with this condition to breathe out reduced amount of air which then leads to difficulty in inhaling and exhaling. According to the World Health Organization (2010)‚ this condition is due to inflammation of the air passages in the lungs and affects the sensitivity of the nerve endings in the airways so they become easily irritated. In an attack‚ the lining

Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular Disease is composed of various types of problems due to atherosclerosis‚ which is build up of plaque. The plaque buildup can cause even more difficulties that can lead to heart attack and stroke. Cardiovascular disease can affect the nervous‚ urinary‚ muscular‚ and about every other system in the body due to lack of oxygen rich blood supply to the body. Heart attacks happen when blood flow to a certain part of the heart is blocked off by a blood clot
