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

Rotational Dynamics Abstract Rotational dynamics is the study of the many angular equivalents that exist for vector dynamics‚ and how they relate to one another. Rotational dynamics lets us view and consider a completely new set of physical applications including those that involve rotational motion. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the rotational concepts of vector dynamics‚ and study the relationship

Cardiovascular and Aerobic Exercise Cardiovascular exercises are one of three main types of exercise that include strength and flexibility exercises. This type of activity requires continuous motion of large muscles‚ such as your legs or arms. The exercises that are performed for aerobics are called cardiovascular because they work out your heart and your lungs. This means training the most important parts of your body to work more efficiently and become healthier. One thing that is nice

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
