disease risk reduction. It is important to the effective performance of virtually all types work and play activities. TERMS Aerobic Exercise – Exercise for which the body is able to supply adequate oxygen to sustain performance for long periods of time Anaerobic Exercise – Exercise that requires the use of the body’s high energy fuel. This type of exercise is of short duration and does not depend on the body’s ability to supply oxygen. Hemoglobin – Oxygen carrying pigment of the red blood

effect of exercise on the respiratory system. I predict that whilst carrying out the exercise‚ the breathing rate will considerably increase from resting to working breathing rate. However due to the fitness of the volunteer this breathing rate could be different. As soon as the volunteer has stopped the exercise‚ I predict that the breathing rate will steadily decrease over a number of minutes until it gets back to resting breathing rate. I can justify my prediction as throughout the exercise the oxygen

Flexibility Flexibility is the range of motion at a given joint. As an example‚ your shoulders should allow you to reach behind your back and touch both hands together. If this is not possible‚ you are not as flexible as you should be. This does not give you a license to force yourself to do this stretch. Flexibility must be attained in a controlled and safe manner. Flexibility is likely the most neglected aspect of physical fitness and should be a part of everybody’s weekly fitness routine

When training at altitude‚ the amount off red blood cells is reduced and activity allows the body to cope with less oxygen for activity. When back at sea level‚ red blood cells become more efficient and are able to use oxygen more efficiently for exercise. It is undoubted that Mo Farah has a high VO2 max. Ways to measure this is using the multi-stage fitness test. This is beep that is a set amount of seconds apart and as the levels increase the time between beeps decreases. The higher the level the

Young lives are at risk because they don’t make any time to exercise. Exercise around the United States is becoming less common in young adults. Technology is rising and exercise is declining. Whether they know it or not‚ everyone plays a role when it comes down to the health of young adults. It’s easy to be swayed towards unhealthy habits in America because they are like subliminal messages in our day to day lives. It’s like we’re being brainwashed. Most adults neglect the fact that they are setting

Systemic Circuit: Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from your heart‚ and veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to your heart. 2. In pulmonary circuit‚ though‚ the roles are switched The cardiovascular system serves five important functions during exercise: 1) Delivers oxygen to working muscles 2) Oxygenates blood by returning it to the lungs 3) Transports heat (a by-product of activity) from the core to the skin 4) Delivers nutrients and fuel to active tissues 5) Transports hormones.

gain more muscular endurance. This is due to all the training she does‚ the muscles are used to doing more exercise. She would also have more PC stores. She would also have an increased range of movement. This is because she has to warm up before each run or exercise she does‚ therefore‚ she has an increased range of movement. She would also have an increased blood supply. During exercise‚ the blood flow to the active muscles increases to allow for more oxygen and nutrients to be available to those

This energy system requires oxygen to break down glycogen and fatty acids in large amounts to

There was one experiment that was administrated to test the effects of exercise by pulmonary rate‚ heart rate and blood pressure with regards to cardiopulmonary function. The exercises dealt with vital capacity between male and females in terms of their age‚ physical conditions‚ and size. We also measured the electrical activity of the heart by using an electrocardiogram (ECG). The experiment consisted of measuring blood pressure for a normal male or female at a resting point versus them exercising
