Assignment 2 The Body’s responses to long term exercise A response to long term exercise is a change that happens to your body over a long period of time due to exercise. It is also known as chronic exercise. Unlike the short-term effects‚ these changes do not happen immediately‚ they take time and effort to achieve. Once these responses take place it will allow an athlete to work at a higher intensity for longer. These changes mainly occur in the heart‚ lungs and muscles. This table shows the changes

that occur within the cardiovascular system in response to exercise is heart rate. When engaging in exercise‚ the amount of energy required increases instantaneously within the skeletal muscles. This sudden demand creates increasing stress on the cardio-respiratory system to remove the waste products and carbon dioxide from the cells and provide more oxygen for the working cells. This surge of extra energy that is needed requires the heart to pump faster and harder in order to increase the volume

and its effects on Daphnia is tested. By observing the heart rate‚ one can determine if the creatine increases or decreases heart rate. Heart rate was chosen to be measured because one can then see how creatine affects the heart. If it is unhealthy for the Daphnia‚ it could potentially be unhealthy for humans. “Long-term safety of creatine supplementation has been questioned. This retrospective study was performed to examine markers related to health‚ the incidence of reported side effects and the

The Effect of Exercise on Blood Pressure Katie Law-Balding June 28‚ 2010 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to see what effect 30 seconds of physical activity would have on a subject’s blood pressure. In this case‚ physical activity is defined as stair running at a moderate pace for 30 seconds. Standing blood pressure was measured before and after physical activity for comparison purposes. Three trials were completed and initial blood pressure was 94/75 mmHg‚ 125/92 mmHg‚ and 106/92

The Effects of Secondary Plant Compounds on Lumbriculus Variegatus Heart Rate Introduction Blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus) were used in this experiment to study the effects of secondary plant compounds‚ chemical compounds produced by plants that are not part of the general metabolism‚ on pulse rate. Secondary plant compounds act as defense mechanisms which reduce or eliminate consumption of some plant species or even attract predators. These compounds are not essential to the plant but often

Critically Analyse the Research Findings on the Acute and Chronic Effects of Exercise on Anxiety and Depression It has long been speculated that there is a relationship between exercise and it effects on anxiety and depression. However‚ it is not until recently that research has shown that exercise is associated with positive changes in mood and reductions in anxiety and depression. According to the Mental Health Victoria‚ depression is characterised by prolonged feelings of sadness‚ dejection

is among the top preventable risk factors of heart disease amongst many other health problems. Coronary heart disease and strokes are the primary types of cardiovascular disease caused by smoking. They rank as the first and third leading causes of death in the United States. More than 61 million Americans suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease. Smoking increases your risk for high blood pressure‚ coronary heart disease‚ stroke‚ congestive heart failure‚ and aneurysms to name a few. More

Every day your heart pumps blood through a vast network of blood vessels around and around your body‚ delivering food and oxygen to cells and removing waste. The pulse (heart rate) is the number of times a person’s heart beats per minute (bpm). The pulse is a rhythmical throbbing of the arteries as blood is propelled through them‚ typically felt in the wrists or neck. Your resting heart rate occurs when you become relaxed or comfortable. These are shown when sitting or lying down. The ability to

RUNNER’S WORLD / Running On Air This breathing technique from Budd Coates can help you run better and avoid injury. This article was adapted from Running on Air: The Revolutionary Way to Run Better by Breathing Smarter‚ by Budd Coates‚ M.S.‚ and Claire Kowalchik (Rodale‚ 2013). The book teaches how to use the principles and methods of rhythmic breathing across all levels of effort. It includes training plans for distances from 5-K to the marathon‚ as well as strength-training programs and stretching

Pulse rate During the practical while at rest the pulse is at a normal speed as the person is not doing any activity which requires lots of energy. This changes when the person starts to exercise as the line on the graph increases‚ this shows that the pulse rate is increasing because the heart is beating faster to make sure enough oxygen reaches the cells‚ this also causes the breathing to increase as the body has to take in more oxygen to supply the body and remove the carbon dioxide.
