Exercise Physiology

Finally on Monday we talked about the physiological effects of exercise. This included

Stroke Volume

Tidal Volume

Return to resting heartrate

Resting heartrate

Muscle efficiency at O2 uptake

How does each of these change with exercise and conditioning?
Stroke Volume goes up
Tidal Volume goes up
Return goes down
Resting rate goes down
Muscle efficiency goes up
Muscle Mass goes up

How could we design an experiment to test changes in our circulatory system?
Ideas could include changes in:
Duration
Frequency
Intensity
Mode
Diet
Hydration

You must design an experiment to test one of these ideas.

Hypothesis (If..Then..Because)
Independent Variable
Dependent Variable
Controls
Constants
Replicates
