Lung Volume Activity The graph below is called a spirograph. It represents the amount of air that moves into and out of the lungs with each breath‚ as measured by a device called a spirometer. (The terms that are used to describe the features of a spirograph are explained below.) • Tidal volume is the volume of air that is inhaled and exhaled in a normal breathing movement when the body is at rest. • Inspiratory reserve volume is the additional volume of air that can be taken into the lungs

6. Anatomy of Flowering Plants Tissue It is a group of cells that are similar in structure and are organised together to perform a specific function. It is of two types: Meristematic tissues and Permanent tissues Meristematic tissue It consists of actively dividing cells that are found in those regions of the plant body that show growth. The examples include root tip‚ shoot tip‚ and base of the leaves. It is classified into three types: i. Apical meristem: They are present in

For my activites 3 times a week i will be undertaking two forty five minute sessions of bycicle riding per week. In addition‚ i will also undertake one 45 minute session of weight training. The cicyling sessions will occur in the afternoon after work. The intention is to follow the route below which is a *** ascent/descent. This route will change over the next few weeks based on my physical fitness progression and enjoyment of the cycle track. The rational for the once a week weights session is

Muscle adaptations to the increase in energy demands at the start of exercise Introduction The transition from rest to exercise is associated with a huge upsurge in energy expenditure‚ due primarily to skeletal muscle contractions (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). Contractions require energy in the form of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). ATP stores in muscle are around 8mmol/l and are exhausted within 2s of exercise (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). To continue exercise and maintain ATP homeostasis‚ ATP

An activity that primarily utilizes type I muscle fibers is long distance running. Type I fibers are generally slow-twitch fibers‚ meaning they contract slowly and have a high capacity for aerobic glycolysis. Ectomorphs usually perform long distance running. In order to train slow twitch muscles (training slow twitch muscle fibers is for endurance purposes and other aerobic activities)‚ one must increase the time under tension (TUT). Specifically‚ one must focus on doing higher reps (12-15) and low

Exercise and cardiovascular fitness Adam Hunt Word Count: 624 Most types of exercise are practiced in order to utilize the body’s core functions and to better those bodily functions. Cardiovascular exercise is a popular type of exercise which is used to increase the heart’s functions and the effectiveness of said functions. One main type of exercise is resistance exercise‚ which increases strength and mass‚ bone strength‚ and the body’s metabolism. By practicing this cardiovascular exercise

How to Reduce Lactic Acid Build up in Muscles Understanding Lactic AcidReducing Lactic Acid During a WorkoutReducing Lactic Acid Through Your Diet Edited by LC108‚ BR‚ Jacob‚ Vahab2121 and 5 others Lactic acid is released into the muscles when they have used up their normal energy stores but still have intense energy needs. Small amounts of lactic acid operate as a temporary energy source‚ thus helping you avoid fatigue during a workout. However‚ a build up of lactic acid during a workout can
