The forest lake aquathon consists of a 250 meter swim and a 2.5 kilometre run. A specific training program has been made to improve my weaknesses and work on cardiovascular fitness and endurance. This essay will also evaluate the personal training program that has been created and whether or not it will help improve my fitness. In last year’s aquathon I did not participate‚ but the average time that most students finished were around 20 minutes. There was also a fitness test where students swum

metabolism the first thing you might think of is the number of calories your cells burn each day. Metabolism is actually the sum of all chemical reactions that take place in the body. Metabolic reactions that produce energy are dependent on the cardiovascular system‚ which send oxygen to all the cells in your body. Although metabolism is not primarily made of reactions that burn nutrients like carbohydrates‚ fats and protein‚ these are perhaps the most widely known of the metabolic reactions. (CITE) However

Introduction: The cardiovascular system has multiple components that work to ensure an enough oxygen is supplied to the muscles‚ both at rest and during exercise. The objective of this laboratory session was to measure‚ and compare how the cardiovascular system responds to dynamic and isometric exercise. The research question for this lab was “What is the effect of different exercise modalities on the cardiovascular system?”. In response to this research question‚ the following hypothesis was formed

Cardiovascular System: Intrinsic Conduction System 1. The intrinsic conduction system consists of __autorhythmic____ __cardiac__ cells that initiate and distribute __impulses_____ throughout the heart. 2. The intrinsic conduction system coordinates heart activity by determining the direction and speed of ____heart depolarization____. This leads to a coordinated heart contraction. 3. List the functions for the following parts of the intrinsic conduction system: a. SA node _sets the pace for the

Effects in Cardiovascular Fitness between Non-Smokers vs. Smokers Katie Hughes Bio Lab: 140 Abstract: In America smoking has became a growing concern that has widely affected people of all ages. It is said that it greatly impacts ones cardiovascular ability to perform enduring amounts of physical activity. In order to come about this idea more accurately‚ we have set up a series of steps and procedures. We divided 18 people into three groups: non-smokers‚ light smokers‚ and heavy smokers

The cardiovascular system is the movement of blood being permitted around the body to vital organs and muscles with the components of the heart‚ blood‚ and blood vessels combining together to make the cardiovascular system work. The cardiovascular systems is vital in the human body as it promotes the body’s delivery system for blood being pumped around the entire body for survival. The respiratory system also has importance in the body as it is the system to transport air into the lungs to aid the

Without the cardiovascular system‚ we would not be alive. The cardiovascular system is essentially a synonym for the circulatory system which is "the system that circulates blood and lymph through the body‚ consisting of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ blood‚ lymph‚ and lymphatic vessels and glands" (Circulatory…). The cardiovascular system is crucial to have‚ as it supplies oxygen and gives nutrients to every part of our body. The cardiovascular system‚ in fact‚ is one of the most important systems consisting
