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

As with any high intensity sport‚ there are many cardiovascular benefits of basketball. Between bouts of running‚ jumping‚ dribbling‚ and bouts of rests‚ kids are participating in total body interval training without even realizing it. Interval training boosts aerobic capacity‚ energy levels‚ and metabolism‚ which in turn helps kids concentrate more in school. The ability to control our limbs in space may come naturally‚ but being able to pass and shoot with precision during a basketball
