Nasal Stripss Case Study

Decent Essays
1. Do nasal strips help with performance? (You must put the answer this in your own words. DO NOT plagiarize)

Nasal strips have negative effects on performance. The effects are due to the inhalation and the exhalation being minimized to enhance the performance; with or without oxygen. Moreover, this is an inactive solution that will attract athletes to increase their performance. The negative effects will effect those who are not physical active or elite. The negative effects and non-effective results will continue throughout the oxygen that is used by the tissues, and oxygen utilization during specific tests. The nasal strips will not cause an advantage(s) in any performance. 2. How does air move out of the lungs?

The major difference between oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin is the oxygen and the hemoglobin being impelled with one another. 4. What is the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve?

The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve measures the limited amount of force of oxygen in the blood anaerobically and aerobically. The curve is also assessed and observed through a graph. On the graph the oxyhemoglobin saturation will increase and curve; and eventually plateau. Oxyhemoglobin is represented visually on the effects of how oxygen is transported throughout the body during activity.

5. Explain temperature effect on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.

Temperature will effect the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve by shifting to the right or to the left. If the temperature increases, this will have a negative effect on the partial pressure of oxygen. This negative effect will cause the gas exchange to decrease and shift to the right. As the temperature decreases the gas exchange will increase. As the temperature decreases the curve will shift to the left.

6.Explain pH effect on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation

The myoglobin assists with the transportation of oxygen at aerobic intervals to assist the skeletal and cardiac muscles. Myoglobin is also very effective in assisting the body during the partial pressure points of oxygen at lower intervals.

9. Explain the phases of ventilation during submaximal exercise.

There are 3 phases in the ventilation during submaximal exercise.
Phase 1- This is the beginning of the exercise. Due to the gas exchange that is occurring, the intensity may cause the individual to increase oxygen consumption. The individual will then reach the level of steady state.
Phase 2- The individual will remain at this constant intensity and plateau. Being that this an anaerobic performance, the individual will continue to use their working muscles to begin the recovery phase.
Phase 3- The individual is still maintaining that moderate to high intensity. Gas exchange is now reacting to the chemoreceptors of the body to assist the supply of the demands that are being placed on the body. This will assist the individual to prepare for a lower intensity for the recovery portion of the exercise.

    I predict also a higher rep count during stage 1 (aerobic exercise) as a pose to during stage 2 (anaerobic exercise). Cellular respiration is the process of energy production and consumption within the body and during cellular respiration there are many bonds being broken of sugars and ATP. I felt warmer after lifting the dumbbell because whenever a bond is broken, energy is released in the form of heat as a by-product to normal energy. Oxygen is a vital part to cellular respiration and oxidative phosphorylation because without it there would be no hydrogen ions being pumped across to form ATP. In aerobic respiration, approximately 30 ATP’s are created whereas in anaerobic only 2 are created because of the lack of oxygen.…

    Anaerobic and aerobic exercise were determined to effectively influence muscle oxygen uptake at the cellular level. Evaluating and measuring the effectiveness of the two types of exercise on oxygen uptake would inform the advantages and disadvantages they have on muscles. Significant amounts of oxygen are consumed by the human muscles when moderate intensity aerobic work is performed. Contradictorily, anaerobic exercise causes the body to break down stored glycogen in muscles for energy. Therefore, oxygen availability, biological factors, and exercise intensity are factors contributing to muscle oxygen uptake.…

    The materials and apparatus used in this experiment were: a PC computer, IWX/214, LabScribe Software, SP-304 Spirometer, FH-300 Spirometer flow hear and plastic tubes. The regular set up of the apparatus and more details of the procedure can be found from the Lab Manual on laboratory # 10 respiration, which was used as a reference. After setting the computer software (LabScribe), and calibrating voltage to 22 L which was written in the spirometer black box, a test of the Spirometer was performed to make sure it was in the right position. (A spirometer is an apparatus for measuring the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs.) It was tested by recording one person breath on the software and observed the waves in the lung volume screen.…

    One of the main functions of the equine respiratory system is to trap debris. The horses nasal cavity is lined with ciliated epithelium, which produces mucus and is equipped with cilia.1 Air-borne debris gets trapped in the sticky mucus as it enters the nasal cavity and the cilia move from side to side in order to move the mucus toward the throat.1 When the debris-filled mucus reaches the throat, it can then be swallowed and digested or expelled through coughing.1 Research has shown that nearly half of the horse population has obtained some sort of lung disorder that is typically caused by small dust particles and individual hygiene issues that are related to the particles.2 Since these problems are affecting nearly half of the horse population,…

    Introduction: Maximal oxygen uptake, or VO2 max represents the maximum amount of oxygen consumption attainable during all out aerobic exercise, most commonly running on a treadmill. The point at which oxygen consumption plateaus is the individual’s maximal oxygen uptake. If the individual does not plateau, that point is referred to as VO2 peak. VO2 max is measured in milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute, and there are two ways to measure it, either direct or indirect. The direct method requires the subject to exercise to the extremes of their capability, and indirect methods use sub maximal exercise.…
