Hr Performance Review

From lab 3.1 I gathered that my estimated VO2max was 25.92 ml/kg/min and according to the chart in the textbook that is a very poor score for someone of my age and gender. Essentially, the maximum amount of oxygen I can utilize during high intensity workouts is very low and confirms my current poor cardiorespiratory health. The muscular strength and endurance lab results, calculated by the maximum bench press, push-up, and side bridge test, showed

One of my highest scores was physical wellness. This is because being physically fit is very important to me. Since 6th grade I have always been very involved in sports. Through middle school I played football, cross country, track, and was captain of the wrestling team. Because of this physical fitness is deeply important to me. I avoid anything that can possibly hinder my physical abilities like drugs and smoking. I eat well a majority of the time and am currently on my school’s raider team which has kept me very physically fit.

In this lab, the focus was to study muscular fitness. In muscular fitness, there are two main components of measurements that are being taken, which are muscular strength and muscular endurance. Muscular strength is an individual’s ability to exert their maximum force. To test muscular strength, there are multiple tests such as 1 RM , Static Handgrip Strength, and Back Strength Dynamometer test. Muscular endurance is an individual’s ability to sustain prolonged muscular contractions. Tests that reveal results about an individual’s muscular endurance would be tests such as YMCA Submaximal Bench Press, Push-Up, and Plank test. It is important to remember that there is no single test for endurance and strength that will tell an

As I look at my results for my fitness scores from 9th grade baseline tests to 10th grade posttest results I see a continuous improvement. I started with 1700 meters in my 12-minute run and continually increased my score to 2100 meters in the 10th grade posttest. For the 12-minute swim, I started with 17 wall touches, and I improved to 24 walls for my 9th grade posttest, and than went back down to 23 walls for my 10th grade pretest, and moved back up to 25 walls for my posttest. The front plank test I got a time of 1 minute 30 seconds for my 9th grade pretest, and increased to 2 minutes 45 seconds for my 9th grade posttest. I then decreased to 2 minutes for my 10th grade pretest, and back up to 2 minutes 30 seconds for my 10th grade posttest.

The graphs also show that Sara’s heart takes the longest to recover after exercise, followed by Jonathan and then me. This means that from these results, Sara is the most unfit and I am the fittest out of the three of us. Since all three of us did the exact same kind of moderate and strenuous exercise it shows that Sara’s heart is not as used to

This reflects that the number of items between the maximum score and the average are consistent and reliable. Test-retest reliability, in the short-term of one week, on all scales except artistic talent were fair-to-good (r > .59 to .79) for gifted students and excellent (r > .80) for average students and students with handicaps (Jarosewich, Pfeiffer, & Morris, 2002, p. 329). Inter-rater reliability measures the test’s reliability and consistency across raters (Jarosewich, Pfeiffer, & Morris, 2002). GATES does not provide any information regarding inter-rater reliability.

As an individual who does not exercise on a regular basis, my results overall were quite poor, with a post-test average percentage of 32.5%, but it was still an improvement over my pre-test average of 22.9%. To analyse these results, I shall begin with the smaller components, to get a closer look at my shortcomings, improvements and why my results are generally unsatisfactory.

Some of my scores did not surprise me but they were disappointing. During the cardiovascular endurance test my heart beat was 119 beats per minute. I was expecting this and was not surprised at all because I have always avoided doing cardio, the most I do is walk my dog, take the stairs, or use the elliptical. I cannot even remember the last time I ran. Actually, I thought I was going to do a lot worse. The flexibility test, I had a lot of confidence going into it and was not surprised to be in the good range with a score just above 18.75 inches. During the balance test, which was the hardest out off all of them, I had a disappointing score of 21

Unit D: Human Systems in Biology 20 is one of the main sections that becomes relatable to the Program of Studies (POS) for the Heart Rate and Exercise LabQuest activity. General Outcome #2 focuses on how students will explain the role of the circulatory systems and defense systems in maintaining an internal equilibrium. This further goes into measuring the students level of understanding the concepts of heart rate and the factors that affect it (Alberta Education, p. 41). Heart rate can then branch out into concepts of maximum heart rate, resting heart rate and recovery time. Through the LabQuest experiment, the main affecting factor was exercise and how that relates back to the fitness level of an individual [20-D2.3s]. Other key concepts found in the lab’s analysis questions then dealt with disorders of the heart [20–D2. 2sts]. Students are additionally "conducting investigations into relationships between and among observable variables" through the use of tools to gather information in regards to their heart rates [20–D2.2s]. Through group work activities, they are achieving collaborative work in measuring heart rate and other factors relating to the circulatory system [20-D2.4s]. To analyze and interpret, the POS explicitly states that students have the option in determining, from available data, the relationship between blood pressure and exercise [20–D2.3s a]. For the simulation, predominantly at the high school level, the

My Muscular fitness was superior compared to an average person. This did not come as a surprise to me since I routinely to the gym to lifts weights.

Our Hypothesis was correct in the sense that we predicted the systolic pressure and heart rate levels will increase as we increase the intensity of the exercise. It was incorrect when we predicted that the diastolic would increase as well.

The heart was more likely to have quicker recovery time when the cardiovascular tissue was better equipped to deal with the strain of the exercise and better conditioned. The weakness with this study is there are too many variables that have been put into play with this experiment. Between the type of exercise, the intervals in which the exercises were to be done, the duration of the experiment. The amount of people within the experiment, as well as their age and family history could have played a large role in this experiment. These variables, as well as other variables that develop more questions could quite possibly be condensed and more isolated in future

An athlete with a VO2 max of 65 ml/kg/min will be able to perform at a high level for a longer duration than an athlete with a VO2 max of 40 mL/kg/min. However, this relates to aerobic work. Someone with a high VO2 max will not necessarily be able to perform at a higher capacity during resistance exercise or short-duration high-intensity work, such as sprints.A complete VO2 Fitness test can give trainers and clients the tools to set realistic goals and assess improvements. Many people are inefficient exercisers, with no understanding of what specific heart rate, intensity or duration would best help them reach their specific goals such as fat burning, endurance training, or cardio conditioning. An initial VO2 Max test can clarify the specific

The first topic is aerobic capacity. For aerobic capacity, I performed the pacer test. The pacer test,

Carry out an experiment to measure the heart rate and ventilation rate before, during and after moderate exercise.
