USCB Bluffton Experiment

In this assignment I will be introducing a formal report that is based on an investigation into how the body responds to exercise and which analyses the results from the investigation. The investigation involves myself and other pupils in my class. I will be doing the Harvard step test. the other pupils in my class will be monitoring my heart rate, breathing rate and temperature before and after the test.

The first error noticed is the fact that we measured everything with a small measuring tape instead of a big measuring tape, which didn’t help since we were taller and bigger than the measuring tape, so we had to use two measuring tapes added together. Using a small measuring tape to find out these measurements ended being extremely inaccurate. After data collection we were not really sure if the numbers we got were real, and it probably affected a lot on the way the results came out. The lab activity validity started to be questionable now.

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.

Before we started the lab experiment, we had to grab a few equipment such as one stethoscope, so we could actually hear the participant's heart rate, at least four to six alcohol prep pads to cleaning the earpieces of the stethoscope, one blood pressure cuff, one heart rate monitor chest strap, and one heart rate monitor watch. After we gather all the equipment that we needed, the participant had to position the heart rate monitor straps around his or her chest while having it in direct contact with their skin. Then, the participant had to position themselves on the cycling or the treadmill walking for about 3-5 minutes due to the measurements. Both participants were required to measure and record 4 HR measurements for each other. The first

In conclusion, this experiment was successful. The purpose of the experiment was to observe the change in heartbeats per minute before and after a physical activity, in this case, ten jumping jacks. As predicted, the data proved that the hypothesis was correct because you can clearly see in the graph that the heart rate after exercise was higher. One point that I noticed from the data was that the ten jumping jacks affected the subjects differently. Subject two’s heart rate after exercise was significantly higher than subject one’s. Subject one’s heart rate increased only slightly; whereas subject two’s heart rate increased significantly. This experiment is a good basis for additional testing involving heart rates and exercise. If this investigation

This experiment has some extraneous variables to contemplate including the age of the participant, presence of others and time of day. These variables require serious consideration to ensure they are not impacting the results. Since this study is recruiting cancer patients from UBC palliative care centre, age is an extraneous variable because cancer not only targets the elder population, but young children as well. The younger patients may be able to perform the exercises more efficiently than the older patients, which can have significant impacts on the results. In order to control for possible effects of age, we will limit our sample to palliative patients aged 30-60 years old. Another variable to consider is the presence of others- it has the ability to impact patients’ performance on selective days. Some patients may feel more comfortable when they are surrounded by certain people, but not as relaxed and poised at other times. In order to control for this variable, the researcher will be sure to have the patients choose who they would like around them while they exercise. Finally, the time of day the exercise intervention occurs must be taken into consideration. This has the potential to significantly impact our results because some patients may not be as functional at different times throughout the day. Therefore, we will specify that the intervention will take place in the morning.

You are required to measure and record body weight before, during and after 60 minutes of physical activity, to examine changes in body weight over the duration of exercise. No water is to be consumed during the physical activity and it is important that all students have the same clothing items for each weigh

This experience consisted of 20 subjects from Woden plaza varying of age and gender. It also included one student who was going to conduct the experiment.

In this paper I will start out by talking about 4 tests from my freshmen year. One baseline test I took was the 12 minutes swim test; during the baseline I got 17 walls in the allowed 12 minutes. On the post 12-minute swim I reached a total of 21 walls. I can see visible progress/improvement during the 12-minute swim; I gained a total of 4 walls during the posttest. There was a change because I was constantly doing physical activity through hockey on and off the ice. Outside of school and hockey I did not do any other physical activity. I had a great attitude toward doing these exercise I was not on a healthy eating choice but exercising a lot helped. I was not ill and did not have an injury during this time. My short-term goal is to keep exercising

Fitness and nutritional habits should be more enforced in today’s society; especially in the United States. The general public as a whole is less healthy the prior days. People are not as active, make poor eating choices, are indoors more often and always on the run. This is the results to an unhealthy culture. By changing our day to day habits by incorporating healthy meal planning and exercise we can beat this growing change.

I am the Statistical Analyst for Slivers’ Gold Gym (SGG). I was assigned a project to examine the relation of 252 male gym members weight and body fat by conducting a hypothesis test. This report reflects the measures that I examined and how I conducted my hypothesis test to conclude if the male members have an average body fat of 20% as claimed by my boss.

Three factors that could have affected the internal validity of the experiment were: (i) there was no random assignment of the girls from either school to the conditions, (ii) the allocation of more resources to the intervention group than to the attention control group, (iii) the significant lack cognitive and affective changes. These variables are going to be discussed specifically in relation to physical activity (a dependent variable in the experiment).

The only limitation was not asking the people who participated in the experiment whether they lead a healthy lifestyle or not for example if they do a lot of sport. Next time I would have also done the experiment on more people to get more of an accurate reading. Evaluation: The Results of my experiment showed that the taller a person is, the larger flow of air or lung capacity they have. This is proven by the data I collected.

Members of the population were divided into two groups. The active and control group comprised of ten women each. The control group was sedentary whilst the experimental group took part in an exercise program for a six month period.

In this study, we collected the leisure time physical activity of participants, in the week prior to the study, using a validated questionnaire (21). Children reported their weekly frequency as None, 1-2 days, 3-6 days, every day of leisure time physical activity outside of school, lasting at least 30 minutes, and causing heavy sweating or large increases in breathing or heart rate. For statistical analysis, each weekly frequency received an intensity, for0-2 days per week, Mild, 3-5 days per week,Moderate, and 6-7 days ( as Severe ) (22).
