Measurement of Reaction Time According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, reaction time is the time elapsing between the beginning of the application of a stimulus and the beginning of an organism's reaction to it. In the lab that was conducted, the reaction time of the muscular and nervous system was tested. In the muscular system, specific thenar muscles such as the adductor pollicis brevis, abductor pollicis, opponens pollicis, and the interosseous were involved and tested to cause…
substances. The movement of dynein arms along adjacent outer doublet microtubules while pulling adjacent filaments, causes ciliary bending (6, 8, 9) For the sliding motion to be activated, energy is required. Energy is provided through hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the dynein ATPase. (10). Activation of dynein arms causes the sliding motion of a microtubules doublet on an adjacent doublet (refer to figure 4) (2). Restriction of sliding by nexin links keep doublets intact and…

Genetics & Human Performance Abstract 1.1 Review 1.2 Genetics association with athletic performance When it comes to sport and performance, there is a major difference between the recreational athlete and the elite athlete. When it comes to comparing elite against elite, there can be many variable differences such as training volume, frequency and so on but what truly separates the best from the rest is those who fortunate enough to have the right mixture of Genetics with the correct training…

The aquatic animal known as the crawfish has become well-known in the scientific community due to its common use in a lab or the natural field. While some of its species are known for their invasiveness and “affect [on the] fundamental aspects of aquatic systems like water quality” (Pearl), the crawfish has provided insight into various fields of science because of its ability to be easily manipulated. This small animal has been utilized by many researchers studying the origins of the animal’s…

A standout amongst the most befuddling issues for any competitor is supplementation. What to take, how much, when to take it, blah. Figuring out a supplementation regimen can be so disappointing now and again that it turns out to be anything but difficult to dismiss the woods for the trees, to overlook the motivation behind supplementation and to ignore precisely what makes fruitful weight training. It's occasionally simple to overlook that the cells in our bodies, especially muscle cells,…
One of Australia's largest growing problem is obesity. Obesity is caused by a surplus of energy or calories which are stored into the body as fat. The aim of the experiment is to test what macronutrient protein,fat,sugars,carbohydrates cause the largest increase of weight in worms. This will be done by setting up compost bins and feeding the worms food high in one macronutrient. The digestive system of worms and enzymes involved in nutrient breakdown Worms digestive system is highly…
Participants begin the drill at the back centre marker. Firstly, they run directly across to right marker and then change direction and sprint to the far left marker. The participant then runs back to centre marker, then to the front left marker, from where they sidestep across to front right marker and finally back step to the centre cone. Each run of the drill is timed, with the drill taking about 8-10 seconds to complete. Circuit is as follows: 30 seconds for explanation and to familiarise…
