Introduction:Spirometry is the classic pulmonary function test‚ which measures the volume of air inspired or expired as a function of time. It can monitor quiet breathing and thereby measure tidal volume‚ and also trace deep inspirations and expirations to give information about vital capacity. Spirometrymay also be used to measure forced expiration rates and volumes and to compute FEV1/FVC ratios. Spirometry provides an objective measurement of lung function. It will measure the Expiratory Vital

Respiratory Volumes Activity 2: Measuring Normal Respiratory Volumes 1. Minute respiratory volume: 7‚500 ml 2. Judging from the trace you generated‚ inspiration took place over how many seconds? 2 seconds 3. Expiration took place over how many seconds? 2 seconds 4. Does the duration of inspiration or expiration vary during ERV or FVC? Yes Activity 3: Effect of Restricted Air Flow on Respiratory Volumes 5. How does this set of data compare to the data you recorded for Activity

Physiology plays a major role in the way the body functions. In football the body has to adapt to the intensity of the game as it varies from low to high. A footballer would mainly use their aerobic energy system due to constant and consistent exercise. It is suggested that footballers use 90% of their aerobic metabolism (Mcmillan et al 2004). Yet they would also use their anaerobic energy when displaying skills such as striking as it uses a short burst of energy. The aerobic capacity of a footballer

The respiratory system carries out gas exchange; major organs in the system include: the nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ and lungs. The major function of the respiratory system is to supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide. In order for this to happen‚ at least four events called respiration must occur. The first is the pulmonary ventilation. The air must move in and out of the lungs so that the gases in the alveoli are continuously refreshed. This process is better known
