Luc Leger from the University of Montreal first developed a cardio fitness based Beep Test in 1982 and today it is extensively used all over Australia by sporting clubs and schools. This test could also be known as the Shuttle Run, Bleep or the Multi Stage Test. The Beep Tests is converted and gives a good indication of participants VO2 Max levels. The aim of the Beep Test is to run from one point to another before the beep goes off. The test is used to give and understanding to a participants cardio fitness level and max volume of oxygen (VO2) levels used whilst exercising. The Beep Test can be done anywhere its cost effective and large groups of people with all levels of fitness can be tested together to test the cardio fitness of the individual. Components of the test are to run on a flat surface that is marked out 20m apart. Participants are required to run from one end to the other …show more content…
The respiratory system is responsible for getting oxygen into your body and carbon dioxide out via the nasal or oral cavities, which are, then transport down the trachea into the lungs (bronchi to the bronchioles proceeding through to the alveoli). Our cells need energy and by the respiratory and circulatory systems working together they provide the cells with oxygen that is fundamental for cellular respiration. For cellular respiration to ensue firstly the exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells need to occur and this is known as the internal respiration following this, the body utilises the oxygen and this is known as cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is essential in aiding and breaking down glucose so that energy is released for the body to use. Without the respiratory and circulatory systems working together all of the above would not be able to occur if one system wasn't
To ensure that the results gained from a series of fitness tests are valid and reliable you must make sure that the participant is fully
Introduction: In this experiment, cardiovascular fitness is being determined by measuring how long it takes for the test subjects' to return to their resting heart rate. Cardiovascular fitness is the ability to "transport and use oxygen while exercising" (Dale 2015). Cardiovascular fitness utilizes the "heart, lungs, muscles, and blood working together" while exercising (Dale 2015). It is also how well your body can last during moderate to high intensity cardio for long periods of time (Waehner 2016). The hypothesis is that people who exercise for three or more days will return to their resting heart rate much faster than people who only exercise for less than three days.
The respiration system is the process of supplying oxygen to the cells so that cells can metabolise energy. The main functions of the respiratory system are to maintain oxygen supply to cells, to remove water from the body, and to remove carbon dioxide from the body.
This experiment was carried out as noted about in Procedure 1. The resting heart rate was established and used as a baseline value from which to compare all future deviations. While data could
A heart rate monitor could have been used instead of the manual method, which would produce a more accurate result of the heart rate measurement. (http://www.topendsports.com/testing/heart-rate-measure.htm).
The beep test is the subject received a score 13.5, this meant that the subject covered a distance of 2460 metres and ran for a period of 13 minutes and 2 seconds. Their starting heart rate was 110 and they reached a maximum of 197. Lastly their final rate of perceived exertion (RPE) was 9 meaning they found themselves working ‘really, really hard’ and at maximum intensity at the completion of the test.

The circulatory system and the respiratory system work closely together to ensure that organ tissues and systems receive enough oxygen. Oxygen is required for cellular functions such as cell respiration. This is so the body’s organs and cells can work at fully; it is done by releasing chemical energy with in stored foods. The air breathed in and held in the lungs is transferred to the blood. The blood is circulated by the heart, which pumps the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body organs and returns with deoxygenated blood.
Your body requires energy in order to be able to perform tasks. Energy comes in many different forms. They are chemical, light, sound, heat and mechanical. You can get energy from different food substances i.e. glucose, fatty acids, sugars and amino acids. To be able to get the energy from these food substances energy needs to be released with oxygen. This is known as aerobic respiration. The role that energy plays in our body is the process of moving molecules in and out of our cells while breaking down the larger molecules and building new molecules. The cardiovascular system transports oxygenated blood around the body and to the cells. It will then collect the deoxygenated blood which is ready for the excretion from the cells. The cardiovascular system will deliver the nutrients oxygen and glucose via the blood stream. Oxygen is need for aerobic respiration to occur. The cardiovascular system will pump oxygen and nutrients carrying blood throughout the body. The glucose molecules that are carried by the blood are transported into the cells. Along with the oxygen that is diffused into the cells they are used in respiration to produce ATP. The respiratory system is responsible for bringing in oxygen as well as using it to burn the nutrients that we need for energy. The respiratory system contains alveoli which allow the diffusion of oxygen into the blood stream
Once the patient was correctly hooked up to the EKG the BIOPAC Student Lab Program was started. Lesson five is the one we used for this experiment and once it had been chosen we label it and started the experiment. There were four conditions we needed to measure; the first being lying down. The subject was lying down relaxing on the cot. We clicked record and let it run for 20 seconds. The data resembled the chart below. If it did not we would have had to repeat the steps until it did.
The respiratory system is a complex organ structure of the human body anatomy, and the primary purpose of this system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood vessels to carry the precious gaseous element to all parts of the body to accomplish cell respiration. The respiratory system completes this important function of breathing throughout inspiration. In the breathing process inhaling oxygen is essential for cells to metabolize nutrients and carry out some other tasks, but it must occur simultaneously with exhaling when the carbon dioxide is excreted, this exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood (McGowan, Jefferies & Turley, 2004).
The Respiratory system is an integrated system of organs involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment. Your Respiratory system is made up of the organs in your body that help you breathe. The Respiratory system is the system of the body that deals with breathing. The trachea is a wind pipe. The trachea is a pipe shaped by rings of cartillage. A Bronchi are two tubes that carry air into the lungs. The Respiratory system consistes of many different organs. The organs are the lungs, trachea, bronchi, alveoli, diaphragm, nose, mouth, and pharynx. In the Respiratory system the right lung is larger and has more lobes that the left lung becuase the heart is normally located on the left side, and takes up space where the lung would had been. The functions of the Respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The Respiratory system is also used for the of exchange gases. The importance of the Respiratory system is that it allows for the exchange of gases; meaning carbon dioxide and oxygen. These gas exchanges occur in the alveoli's and the capillaries. This gas exchange of gases is the Respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood. The goal of breathing is to
The heart rates of participants was tested before the step test, one minute, two minutes, and three minutes after the step test was performed in this experiment. Since heart rate increases while someone is performing physical activity, it was expected that heart rates of the students would be higher than before the step
The respiratory system provides a network of muscles and organs that helps a human breath. It brings in oxygen though inhaling and eliminates carbon dioxide through exhaling.
The results of this test show that it provides a valid test to estimate aerobic capacity and shows there is a small measurement of error. A polar heart rate monitor was used to measure the heart rate with a step of 30cm in height with a metronome with a beat at 15 steps, per minute and increased by 5 steps every minute for 5 stages or until 80% of the maximum estimated heart rate was reached. The results demonstrated that the Chester Step technique is a valid predictor of aerobic capacity in males and females from a wide range of ages and fitness levels.
The object of the test is to find out certain age groups react to different genres of video games. The test will study three age groups: high school age, older than high school, and younger than high school. Each subject will play a series of various video games, during the games their heartbeat will be recorded. The test will see which age group has the fastest heartbeat when in an intense or scary situation. The test is designed to find differences in heartbeat depending, during video games, on varying age groups.
