Review Of An Article Related To A Study On APA

One important aspect I gained by taking the APA quiz is that there is no time frame for plagiarism. Another aspect is that Walden University professors can give you an “F” on a paper that shows plagiarism (Walden University, n.d.). I included this because I thought that should you have plagiarized then the first course of action was to be put on academic probation. I am glad to now know that this is not the case, although I will continue to view this as such to avoid plagiarism in any of my papers.

1. Dependent Variable. respiratory volumes 2. Independent Variable. level of physical activity [resting or exercising] 3. Controlled Variables. height; age; sex 4. Which respiratory volume was calculated? Breating rate, TV, ERV, and IRV. 5. What was the purpose of the nose clip? the nose clip was used for the lung function testing to prevent leakage with

The definition of VO2 is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption measured during incremental exercise. The definition of METs is the ratio of metabolic rate during a specific physical activity. The relationship between METs and activity are, the higher the MET level the more calories that are burnt and the higher METs the more intense the activity. The more Oxygen consumed during a VO2 maximal test, the more carbon dioxide is being produced, this raises the RER, RR, HR etc. A warm up before VO2 testing and a higher MET activity are important. A warm up will prime the body to make sure you are ready for the activity. Then , when you perform you must have a cool down to help lower your heart rate and replenish oxygen from the strenuous activity. Comparing my VO2 (48.8) in a national standards chart, I am in the 75th percentile. Using METs and Max VO2 is very helpful in making a program. You know what level of MET activity the client can withstand and you can control the intensity. Also, having HR zones, points where lactic acid build up starts and a plethora of data at your fingertips to manipulate in order to better train a client.

Analyze results – Assume that your experiment produces results identical to those seen in Table 4, what type of graph would be appropriate for displaying the data and why?

The purpose of this lab is to gain knowledge and understanding of the scientific principle of RER, using indirect calorimetry to measure caloric expenditure, including the caloric equivalent and to understand the concepts behind estimating oxygen consumption and caloric expenditure from heart rate, including the limitations. In addition the purpose was to learn skills of how to measure and graph the linear relationship between heart rate and VO2 and then determine the regression equation line and to estimate the caloric expenditure from VO2, heart rate, and caloric equivalent values.

10. Was the sample for this study adequately described? Provide a rationale for your answer.

In the study conducted by Edward H Robinson and Jeffrey R Stout, the use of one weekly interval session at vVO₂max led to a 3% improvement in vVO₂max and a 6% improvement in running(4).The interval duration was set to be 50% of the individual time that the athletes could sustain vVO₂max (the time that VO₂max can be sustained is called tlimvVO₂max or Tmax) which averaged around 3 minutes. The optimum length of VO₂max intervals is not clear although positive results have been found with a range of different interval lengths from 30 seconds up to 3-4

Also on the screen are three white rats in their individual cages. These are the specimens you will use in the following experiments. One rat is normal; the second is thyroidectomized (abbreviated on the screen as Tx), meaning its thyroid has been removed; and the third is hypophysectomized (abbreviated on the screen as Hypox), meaning its pituitary gland has been removed. The pituitary gland is also known as the hypophysis, and removal of this organ is called a hypophysectomy. To the top left of the screen are three syringes with various chemicals inside: propylthiouracil, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and thyroxine. TSH and thyroxine have been previously mentioned; propylthiouracil is a drug that inhibits the production of thyroxine. You will perform four experiments on each animal to: (1) determine its baseline metabolic rate, (2) determine its metabolic rate after it has been injected with thyroxine, (3) determine its metabolic rate after it has been injected with TSH, and (4) determine its metabolic rate after it has been injected with propylthiouracil. You will be recording all of your data on Chart 1. You may also record your data on-screen by using the equipment in the lower part of the screen, called the data collection unit. This equipment records and displays data you accumulate during the experiments. Check that the data set for Normal is highlighted in the Data Sets window; you will be experimenting with the normal rat first. The Record Data button lets

Describe observations you made throughout the entire lab process. Provide details of human error that may have occurred. What occurred during the experiment is that we had to record everything before the classmate ran so that we could see the difference. So first we took data on the calories before exercise,carbon dioxide before exercise,heart rate per minute,skin temperature and breathing rate. Then after we did that the scholar had to exercise.

The metabolic cart is a tool used to measure the metabolic rate. This metabolic rate can be assessed by the submaximal vo2 max test. The carbon dioxide produced, and oxygen that is used is also assessed by the metabolic cart.

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.

A VO2max test involves a graded exercise test on a treadmill/bike. Beep test which is a series of stages.

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