My Health Is Pretty Good

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.

Enhancing cardiac output allows you to maintain lower heart rates during physical activity. For example, at the start of a program you may have a heart rate of 150 beats per minute while running at a 6 mph pace. After three or more months of training increased cardiac output enables you to sustain the same running intensity at a lower heart rate such as 125 beats per

As the famous bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.” During my 3 years of training, I learned much about what it takes to make an out of shape person to a healthy and fit person with just the right decisions and knowledge. For instance, I learned the importance of consistency, in which in order to be actively fit and healthy, there must be consistency. As a young fitness fanatic, I

I was involved in many sports, but regardless of how much physical exercise I was involved in I was still heavy. I was always tired and found myself not being able to compete to level in which I wanted to be at.

I was fortunate enough to get on a club lacrosse team to play in the summer season, a season I took off previously to coming to New Hampton my first year. I met a lot of good friends and throughout this experience my skills improved exceptionally. I made a pact with myself before the end of the school year that I needed to work out this summer and get stronger and faster to improve my athletic ability. So, I took it upon myself to go to the gym near my house and get a personal trainer. Throughout the whole summer working with my trainer, Drew, I completely revamped my game. My shot got faster, my stability got better, I got stronger and in general became a high quality lacrosse player. I got into this habit of keeping myself busy which is the best thing I’ve done for myself. I decided with between working out and playing for my club team, I should get a personal trainer for lacrosse as well. This way I could acquire skill in so many new areas that I couldn’t learn from a generic practice. I knew that doing a combination of all these things with a strong mindset, that my abilities could only get improve tremendously. All the things I did to refine my game has helped me further than what I could imagine in the beginning of the summer. I was unaware I still had potential to be the player I am

Burnout can have severe consequences for athletes, not only adversely impacting motivation and health, but also a subsequent reduction in performance and possible retiring from sport altogether (Madigan et al., 2015). Overtraining can be outlined as an accumulation of training and non-training stress that ends in long term impairment to an athletes performance that includes both physiological and psychological symptoms in which recovery can extend to years (Slivka, Hailes, Cuddy & Ruby, 2010). As overtraining is both physiological and psychological there is little understood about why there is a sudden decrease in all types of performance: resistance, anaerobic and aerobic; what is clear is that while most types of training, even burnout, can be remedied with reduced activity, overtraining is immune to most recovery strategies (Wilmore et al.,

Exercise is another key to maintain a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. The American Heart Association recommends 150-minutes of moderate-intensity, aerobic, physical activity, or 75-minutes of vigorous-intensity, aerobic, physical activity. To stave off boredom, it’s suggested to do a combination of both types of exercise throughout the week (American Heart Association, 2017). Aerobic physical activity is described as, “Exercise with oxygen.” During this type of exercise, the body, more specifically the heart, is working hard to pump oxygenated blood from the heart to the muscles throughout your body (another name for this type of exercise is cardio-exercise). Specific examples of aerobic exercise are; cardio machines, walking, jogging, running, swimming, hiking, and even dancing. The intensity of the exercise depends on how fast and how long the exercise is consistently maintained over a period of time (Weil, n.d.).

I played tennis through junior high school. I hated running. Because I tired running easily. But I like plaing tennis. Because I am not tired playing tennis. But I limited body power when I became high school. As soon as, I began body power training. It seems that I am fine begin body power training. Because I was stong tennis. Also, I am useful on the life because I began body power training. Now, I continuing body power

Since I completed this form my conditions have become worse. My new present illnesses, consists of obstructive sleep apnea (CPAP), heart condition (PTCA STENT), cardiac catheterization, hypertension, and cholesterol/dyslipidemia. With all of this and including my other illnesses, this could cause serious problems in the workplace, and have limited my ability to work. Because of my sleep apnea, (it effects my mental abilities like memory, concentration) I reacted slow when it comes to time, have vision problems, sleep problems, (causes me to fall asleep during the day) and my fatigue, (tired, sleepy, and can only walk 10 to 15 minutes) all affects and limit my ability to work and I have another impairment such as heart condition that limit my ability to exert myself physically. Without adequate sleep, I have more difficulty concentrating, learning, and communicating. Memory lapses have increase; my problem-solving ability and social functioning) have decline. I Can be moody and less tolerance of people, differing opinion, making me more prone to outburst. According to my doctor my driving ability I have to be caution. Also I have hypertension, the doctor limit me to lifting only a few pound.

Muscle fatigue is an exercise-induced reduction in the maximal force capacity of a muscle (Hunter 2004). In general, muscle fatigue causes a decline in muscle performance and contractibility. The purpose of this experiment was to determine just how much muscle fatigue affects muscle performance. We hypothesized that if the number of muscle contractions a person did increased then their reaction time would increase, and their skill task performance would diminish. To test this hypothesis a reaction time test and a skill task test were performed by each person in the group before inducing muscle fatigue.

We’ve known in medical circles for nearly 20 years that HRR is a useful index of cardiovascular fitness. The whole area of HRR and its clinical implications is a subject of current investigation, but it is well established that HRR is a strong predictor of both cardiovascular-related and all-cause mortality in healthy adults.

The heart rate is a measurement of how many times the heart beats in a minute. Physically fit people tend to have a lower heart rate and during intense exercise tend to have lower rates as well. A decrease of heart rate at both rest and at fixed intensity of sub-maximal exercise [7] occurs a few months after an exercise program is begun. One’s heart rate reflects the amount of work the heart must do to meet an increase of demands of the body when engaged in activity. Heart Rate tends to increase proportionally with intensity oxygen uptake [16].

I began to slack off on my exercising, being that I could already lift a great deal more than any of my friends, not to mention I had gained an additional five pounds bringing my total weight gain to twenty pounds. Adding even more difficultly to maintaining my exercise routine, I took on a career as a traveling salesman, requiring me work long days and living out of hotels most of the year. I also continued in poor eating, abuse alcohol, and sleep for only a few hours a night. Over the next two years of irregular and undedicated exercise, I had lost ten pounds and nearly all my strength. I began to notice my life style had suddenly taking a toll on my overall health, sending me to the emergency room on several occasions. I soon realized that I needed to make a change in my life style or it was going to destroy me. I again turned to exercise for the answers I needed to make the change. I had heard many times before, while talking to other people who worked out, that it is very important to eat healthy, get enough sleep, and avoid alcohol if I wanted to see results from exercising. I was always quick to brush off advice like this, because I seemed to be making progress without following such strict rules, but I knew now that I need to make a change. I set out to achieve a healthy life style and began to use exercise as a source of
