effects of exercise - required practical Flashcards
what happens to heart rate as a result of exercise?
increases to supply more oxygen and glucose as a result of increased blood flow
for aerobic respiration due to more muscle contractions because more energy provided
what happens to CO2 removal
rate of removal increases because increase blood flow
what happens to breathing
increases frequency
increases volume of each breath
what is the method for the required practical linked to effects of exercise
place a step on dry surface against a wall
take heart rate of subject
start with a low step rate and immediately after record heart rate
allow subject to rest until the heart rate returns to the baseline level
Repeat for different step intensities
how do we record heart rate
place hands on pulse and count for 20 seconds then *3
what are the potential risks
step moving
bad footwear
medical conditions
