Susan Harrison Aims: 1. To make simple measurements of body parameters 2. To assess whether they fall in the normal range Introduction In this practical you are going to measure your height (cm) and weight (Kg)‚ % skinfold fat‚ pulse rate (b/min) and blood pressure (mmHg). Put values on Excel sheet provided. 1. Size Equipment: Stadiometer; weighing scales. Measure your height (without shoes) in centimetres (cm) and weight in kilogrammes (Kg). Compare your weight with reference

investigate the effects of exercise on the body. Exercise causes many homeostatic factors to kick in‚ in an effort to maintain internal homeostasis. How exercise affects some of these homeostatic factors can be determined by measuring‚ observing and monitoring certain parameters. For the purpose of this study‚ the factors in which I had to look at included temperature‚ pulse rate and breathing (respiration) rate. In doing the experiment‚ I will be able to see firsthand the effects exercise has placed

immediate effects of exercises on the skeletal and muscular system. There are four main responses to exercise Increased blood supply to the muscles‚ Increased muscle pliability‚ Increased range of movement at joints and Muscle fibre micro tears. Increased Blood supply to our muscles When we are exercising our heart rate increases. During exercise more blood is pumping out of the heart and around the body. When our heart beats faster more blood will be pumping out if the heart in a minute

Introduction- This experiment was conducted to show the difference that exercise can make to the human heart rate. To test this‚ we did two full laps of the oval‚ and measured our resting heart rate‚ just before the test‚ just after test and also our recovery rate after the test. Below are the graphs that show the different heart rates of our group of three. We conducted this experiment in a group of three so we could compare results and‚ if the results were different‚ analyse and research why we

and detritus. Because they are completely aquatic‚ they rely on their gills for breathing‚ but can spend short periods of time out of the water if their gills will not dry. Like most crustaceans‚ they have a hard‚ calcified exoskeleton. The heart is located in the upper portion of the cephalothorax‚ which is located just in front of the first abdominal segment (UNT Lab Manual‚ 2017). We can measure the heart rate of the crayfish by measuring the change of the impedance of the circuit that is created

Heart Rate Anticipatory Response: Anticipatory heart rate is the rate that the heart reaches before the start of exercise. Your heart rate usually picks up as a result of the anticipatory heart-rate response‚ this happens before exercise. When thinking about exercising before actually starting‚ the nerves that release the chemicals that adjust your heart rate increase the heart rate. The body expects exercise and therefore prepares for the activity‚ increasing the amount of oxygen being delivered

As the subject enters the exercise phase there is an increased metabolic demand due to the heightened workload of the skeletal muscles and organ systems. In order to accommodate this rise in oxygen demand there must be an increase in the subject’s minute ventilation. The rise in minute volume‚ with exercise‚ could be accomplished by increasing the volume of each breath‚ the tidal volume‚ increasing the respiratory rate or by some combination of the two. In the subject’s case it was a combination

Introduction In this lab‚ I looked at how exercise affects a person’s heart rate (BPM)‚ systolic pressure‚ diastolic pressure‚ and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP). Heart rate is measured by beats per minute while systolic and diastolic pressure are measured by millimeters of Mercury. I found the MAP by the following equation‚ MAP= Diastolic Pressure + ⅓(Systolic-Diastolic). We found out that heart rate and systolic pressure were highest right after and during exercise‚ while diastolic pressure and MAP were
